Objectives: The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is seeking Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) to reduce unit electricity costs, increase site energy resilience, limit price volatility risk from its energy portfolio, and support emissions reduction aligned with Government policy. PPA Type: Renewable energy supply for up to five sites via on-site direct wire connection. Target start date: Target contract start date 31/03/28. Volume: Procure power generation to meet up to approximately 4–12 GWh/year of combined electricity consumption across the portfolio of sites. Provision of higher offtake volumes is dependent on the ability to demonstrate value for money in energy costs achieved and resilience provision. The site portfolio is expected to have a total annual demand of approximately 35 GWh/year. The details provided in this notice are early indicative estimates and may be subject to change/refinement based on final site selection and ongoing data collection. Sites: Potential sites may include up to five sites suitable for on-site, direct wire connection utilising MOD land in the South of England, shortlisted from a longlist of ~30 identified sites throughout the UK. Contract duration: Seeking competitive energy prices for up to 25 years, with potential option to extend. The estimated contract dates are 31/03/28 to 30/03/53. Technology: Open to competitive proposals for Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGO) compliant technologies, with technology choice subject to site-by-site requirements and MOD review. Previous market engagement: A virtual two‑hour supplier engagement session was held on 04/03/2025 to test early market views on high‑level PPA options and to support MOD’s understanding of market capabilities. Suppliers expressed strong appetite to engage and highlighted key considerations including avoiding over‑specification, clarifying roles and responsibilities, and addressing grid‑connection and MOD site factors that will shape the delivery approach.

The Ministry of Defence (The Authority) is developing its requirement for an end to end cloud-base software platform to support its Serviced Family Accommodation (SFA) Programme. The Service Family Accommodation (SFA) Programme is a nationwide programme delivered by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation to provide safe, compliant and high-quality housing for Service personnel and their families across the UK. The programme comprises around 49,000 homes, forming one of the largest and most diverse residential property portfolios in the public sector, with significant variation in property age, type and condition. Its scope includes responsive and planned maintenance, upgrades, compliance with statutory and MOD standards and targeted investment to improve condition, safety and sustainability. The programme aligns with the recently published Defence Housing Strategy, which sets out a long-term vision to improve the lived experience for Service families and support recruitment and retention. As part of this strategy, Defence is transitioning to Defence Housing Services (DHS), (or use Authority instead of DHS) creating a more integrated and customer-focused housing delivery model that brings together accommodation management, maintenance and assurance under a single approach. The requirement is for a platform that is envisaged to be an End to End solution. It is required to manage all the key business processes delivered by a typical Housing Association. The Authority is looking for flexibility and future-proofing with a likely 10 year system lifespan. As such the Authority is keen for minimisation of vendor dependency and is looking for freedom to independently evolve the solution post-implementation. It is envisaged that the platform will need to meet the following key capabilities: • A Family-centric design allowing for a single view of the family / household that brings together occupancies, properties, repairs, allocations, complaints, vulnerability indicators and communications processes in one place. • Functionality and access for families, back office roles, and field operatives • Case management (the ability to group and manage different tasks as a single case) as a core capability. • The ability for configuration over custom development. Allow for processes, workflows, screens, data fields and business rules to be configured using low-code/no-code tools, and how the Authority could adapt the system over time without heavy supplier dependence. • Omni-channel engagement: Ability for cases to be created and managed across multiple channels (e.g. phone, email, web forms, portal, messaging) with a consistent experience for families. • Family self-service: A configurable digital portal that allows families to raise requests, track progress, receive updates and communicate with the Authority, without requiring separate systems. • Integration: A platform that is designed to integrate easily with finance systems, document management, telephony and other specialist housing or corporate systems. • Reporting and insight: Embedded, real-time reporting and dashboards that operational users and managers can configure themselves, without reliance on external or complex BI tools for day-to-day insight. • Security, compliance and resilience: Ability for role-based access control, audit trails, data protection controls and compliance with UK public-sector security standards. • Upgrade and change model: Ability for upgrades and change to be delivered, without disruption, regression testing or bespoke redevelopment. • Evidence of supplier’s experience in successfully delivering the information systems required for the effective operation of UK Housing Associations or Social Housing providers. Ideally with a history of working with multiple UK Housing Associations or Social Housing providers.
