The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) is mulling the possibility of splitting up a planned £6.6bn programme to maintain and improve service family accommodation.
Plans from the Ministry of Defence body cover responsive repairs, property refurbishment, management of a capital investment regeneration programme, statutory compliance services and grounds maintenance for service family accommodation.
The DIO said in a market engagement notice that it was considering breaking the programme into multiple contracts, specifically by separating planned works from repairs and maintenance.
Feedback from suppliers will help shape the procurement strategy, contract structure and tender documentation before the competition is launched, it added.
The overall programme is worth an estimated £7.92bn including VAT.
It is expected to run from 1 March 2029 to 29 February 2036, with an option to extend until 28 February 2039.
Interested contractors are being sought with experience of delivering repair and maintenance services for public sector landlords and a strong focus on customer service and safety.
Opportunities for SMEs and specialist providers are also being explored as part of the proposed lotting strategy.
Suppliers wishing to participate must provide details of their organisation, relevant experience and areas of interest before completing the questionnaire.
The DIO expects to begin the procurement in January 2027, with publication of the tender notice anticipated in early 2027.
