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 expects that any future approach to market may occur in mid 2029. An AusTender notice will be published before any release to industry.

In planning any future procurement, Defence will review the scope and structure of service categories.

The current panel structure may change. Industry should not assume that existing arrangements 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.
