How many bids this lot may attract.

The forecast uses similar past competitions. The bar shows either that forecast or past bid counts; the line below says which.

Each lot shows its own forecast based on its own category; forecasts for different lots of the same notice are not comparative. The bar shows 449 past lots.

A forecast, not a list of bidders.

A past supplier may not bid again.

No earlier contract of this buyer matches this lot on the published record.

Who could compete for this lot?

Firms with relevant past wins. On a framework, we show firms on that agreement.

None is confirmed as a bidder.

Candidate suppliers for this notice have not been worked out yet, so this is not a verdict that nobody fits.

About this data
  • Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
  • Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
  • Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
  • Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.

    DESCRIPTION

    Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) is undertaking estate wide stock condition surveys of circa 49,000 Ministry of Defence (MOD) properties. Industry standard data is required for each property to re-baseline the data held about the estate.

    ENGAGEMENT

    The provision of good quality homes for Service personnel and their families is a critical priority for the Ministry of Defence (MOD).

    This notice is published to advertise a preliminary market engagement exercise being conducted by DIO to assess the interest and capability of the market to undertake a project of this scale.

    Ensuring accurate, up to date condition data is essential for compliance, effective asset planning and maintaining the MOD’s critical priority of the provision of good quality homes for Service personnel and their families.

    DIO is looking to re-baseline the data that is held on the MOD estate to provide a full and detailed picture of every property; including (but not limited to) a full asset appraisal, longevity/lifecycle assessment, details of property layout, Health & Safety Compliance data and ecology assessment. The vision is to utilise the RICS Residential Stock Condition Survey Code of Practice.

    DIO would like to invite interested parties to register their interest in this opportunity and respond to the questions set out in the attached survey.

    The closing date for the survey is 27th April 2026 at 17:00.
