## Summary

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation intends to commission consultancy services to develop an infrastructure plan for the Ministry of Defence estate. The work will review MOD space standards and produce an overarching report on options for using private finance investment across the estate. It is intended to support a recapitalisation plan covering investment and disinvestment in the MOD estate over the next 10 years, with strategic direction extending to around 2050. The requirement is classified as real estate development services. The work concerns the MOD estate rather than a single named site, so suppliers with experience of estate-wide infrastructure planning, defence or other complex public-sector property portfolios may be relevant. The buyer is a central government public authority, based in Lichfield.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced an intention to procure, but has not invited tenders. It is planned as a single lot, with the procurement status recorded as planned and the contract expected to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029. The buyer’s gross estimated value is £900,000, including £150,000 tax, with a net value of £750,000; the currency is GBP. A future notice is expected on 11 September 2026, but this is an indicative publication expectation rather than a bid deadline. The requirement is for services under the light-touch regime, and the lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The available information does not set out an award method, detailed eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria.

The work should suit firms that combine strategic property and infrastructure advisory with practical estate investment planning. Relevant capability includes reviewing space standards, assessing the condition and future needs of a large and complex estate, developing long-term recapitalisation and disinvestment plans, and comparing public funding with private finance or PFI models. Experience of government, defence, regulated infrastructure, or other geographically dispersed estates would help suppliers understand operational constraints and long-term investment decisions. Strong analytical, financial modelling, options appraisal and report-writing capability is likely to be important, alongside the ability to turn technical estate evidence into an investment strategy extending over several decades. The buyer has indicated that small and medium-sized businesses may be suitable, so specialist consultancies and capable consortia should monitor the requirement as it develops.
