Defence Infrastructure Organisation signals a study to develop a ten-year investment plan for the MOD estate
A small study will write the ten-year investment and disinvestment plan for the whole MOD estate; whoever advises on it sees the defence property pipeline first.
The Defence Infrastructure Organisation published a pipeline notice, estimated at GBP 750,000, for a study to review MOD space standards and report on options for PFI across the MOD estate. The notice says the resulting Recapitalisation Plan will set the plan for investment and disinvestment in the MOD estate over the next ten years with a strategic direction to around 2050. The notice states it is for information only and that further details will follow in a future tender notice if the opportunity progresses.
The study is small; what it decides is not. A ten-year investment and disinvestment plan for the defence estate is the document that will shape which sites get capital and which are released, and the advisers who write it will understand that pipeline before anyone else. Pipeline notices of this kind frequently change scope or timing, so this is a lead to watch rather than plan around.
- Pipeline notice for the estate investment plan study
- Tender notice, if the opportunity progresses
- Advisers appointed to review space standards and PFI options
- Recapitalisation Plan sets investment and disposals to 2050
- Capital projects and site disposals follow the plan
- Estate consultants and PFI specialists position for the study.
- Site disposals identified in the plan create development opportunities.
- Construction and MEP frameworks are sized to the plan's capital programme.
- A tender notice for the study.
- Any published estate optimisation decisions in the meantime.
- DIO framework awards that could carry the work.
- If you advise on public estates or PFI, watch for the tender and prepare evidence.
- If you build or develop, note that the plan will identify disposals and capital sites.
- Do not plan around it until a tender notice appears.
Possible consequences, not predictions. Window: 6 to 18 months.
- When is the tender notice expected, and will the study be split into space standards and PFI options?
- Which existing DIO frameworks might the study be procured through?
- What does the current estate optimisation programme say about disposals?
What does this mean for your company?
