The Defence Infrastructure Panel – Environment, Heritage and Estate Engineering (DIP-EHEE) 2020 – 2027 commenced in 2020 and has an initial term to 2025. The panel includes 3 one – year extension options and 2 of these have been exercised. If all extensions are exercised, the panel will run until June 2028.

Defence anticipates that any possible approach to market to re-tender may commence in mid 2027. An AusTender notice will be published beforehand to industry as an advanced alert of this opportunity.

Defence will review the panel need as part of this process 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-EHEE has been established to provide ongoing environment, heritage and engineering services.

The DIP-EHEE operates under standing offer notice SON3683997 across 23 service categories.
