## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for semi-permanent accommodation solutions, with a focus on prefabricated units and multi-dwelling buildings construction work. This tender, titled "Semi-Permanent Accommodation Solutions", is aimed at selecting industry providers capable of delivering robust accommodation for 70 individuals at the MoD Range in the Outer Hebrides. Due to environmental conditions, the solution must be durable and heated, preferably through electricity, with installation and transportation solutions included. The market engagement notice was published on 20th April 2026, and a future notice is expected by 21st April 2026.

The Ministry of Defence is encouraging participation from SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises, thereby widening the scope for diverse business involvement. Interested parties should prepare for robust logistical and installation capabilities to meet the requirements of this unique project.
