Background
The Special Operations Facilities Program-Stage 1 project (SOFP) comprises:
EST2097PH4 Special Operations Rotary Wing Facilities Project (SORW); and
EST1508PH1 Special Operations Capability Enhancement and Continuous Development Program Facilities(GREYFIN).
EST2097PH4 and EST1508PH1 provide the facilities components for the LAND2097 Phase 4 Special Operations Rotary Wing Capability Project and LAND1508 Phase 1 Special Operations Capability Enhancement and Continuous Development Program (Tranche 2), respectively. Both component projects (EST2097PH4 and EST1508PH) propose to deliver works at Holsworthy Barracks, NSW and Campbell Barracks, WA.
Through combining EST2097PH4 and EST1508PH1 into a single project (SOFP), Defence intends to capitalise on similarities in timing, works locations and stakeholder groups to gain efficiency through development and delivery.
It is proposed that the successful tenderer will be engaged under a single DSC-1 Contract covering both the component projects (EST2097PH4 and EST1508PH1) which are anticipated to be delivered under parallel design programs. Design Services are required to facilitate the development of the design and documentation, and provide delivery services for the construction works and associated supporting infrastructure for each of the component projects.

EST2097PH4:
The project scope provides for the refurbishment of existing facilities and delivery of new facilities and infrastructure to directly support the introduction and sustainment of the new Special Operations Rotary Wing (SORW) capability being delivered through LAND2097 Phase 4.
