The Defence Infrastructure Panel (DIP) 2022–2027 commenced in 2022 and has an initial term to 2027. The panel includes 3 one – year extension options. If all extensions are exercised, the panel will run until June 2030.

Defence anticipates that any possible approach to market to re-tender may commence in mid 2029. An AusTender notice will be published beforehand to industry as an advanced alert of this opportunity.

As part of this process, Defence will review the panel need and as a result of this the current panel structure may change. Industry should not assume that existing arrangements and service categories will continue.

The DIP has been established to provide streamlined access to high quality infrastructure related professional services.

The DIP operates under standing offer notice SON3881873 across 8 service categories.

The Panel Manager can be contacted via dip.management@defence.gov.au for enquiries regarding using the panel and for advice on contractual and performance issues.
