Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport (DfT) has initiated the planning stage for a procurement process titled "TracER/Swab STRM Production & Supply PIN Questionnaire". This exercise falls under the category of "Research and development services and related consultancy services" and is aimed at understanding market appetite, capacity, and capability to produce a set number of TracER test pieces and STRM swabs. The procurement process is located in the UKI region, with the initial communication released on 27th January 2025. Detailed instructions and submission information can be found via Contracts Finder.

This procurement initiative presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in research and development, particularly those experienced in chemicals, explosives, electrical machinery, and industrial machinery. Companies providing security, fire-fighting, police, and defence equipment could also find this tender advantageous. Given the preparation of market surveys, businesses that can demonstrate their capability in producing and supplying innovative testing equipment on a trial basis would be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this process could potentially lead to long-term collaboration with the DfT, fostering growth and development in the specialized sector of testing and security equipment.
