鈥淭he regional primes have attracted a high level of interest from businesses of all sizes, and I am pleased that following a rigorous evaluation process we have established strong competitive shortlists of bidders with whom we can discuss our detailed requirements.鈥�

The DIO said the bidders will soon begin the tendering process with a programme of visits to selected defence establishments, followed by invitations to submit tenders in October 2012.

Final tenders are expected before March 2013, with the preferred bidder being announced by April 2014.

The DIO said the three regional contracts for England are expected to be in-service from September 2014, replacing the two current regional prime contracts for South East and South West, and introducing a new single regional prime contract for the existing separate Central and East regions.

A fourth regional prime - for Scotland and Northern Ireland - was launched in 2011 and is already 鈥渨ell advanced鈥� in the tendering process, the DIO added.
