Summary of the contracting process

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL), based in Salisbury, England, has completed a procurement process for the supply of photography equipment, specifically cameras. The process, classified under the CPV code 38651000, utilised a direct procurement method with a single tender action below threshold. This tender, identified by DSTL0000039621, concluded with a value of £17,531.97 GBP. The procurement process included a tender period end date of 8th December 2024, with the contract period spanning from 9th December 2024 to 12th December 2024. The awarded contract went to Warehouse Express Group Ltd, a large supplier, with the award notice published on 10th January 2025 and updated on 20th February 2025.

This procurement provides an opportunity for businesses supplying photography equipment to engage with government entities like the DSTL. Although the procurement method was direct and involved a single tender action, it highlights the potential for future tenders in similar industry categories. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited for such opportunities, especially those that can provide competitive pricing and meet specific equipment requirements within the given timeframes. Engaging in these tenders can help SMEs expand their portfolio and establish valuable connections within the public sector.
