Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Defence Equipment and Support involves the planned tender for "CBRN Equipment In Service Support," focusing on Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear equipment. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically for repair and maintenance services of security and defence materials, and nuclear, biological, chemical, and radiological protection equipment. Located in Flintshire, United Kingdom, the process is presently at the planning stage with key dates including the end of the enquiry period on 20th May 2026, the tender submission deadline on 31st May 2026, and the prospective award by 17th July 2026. An open procurement method is being used and electronic submission is permitted, aiming for contracts to commence on 1st August 2026 and potentially extend to 2032, renewing annually for four years.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies specialising in defence and security materials maintenance, and those equipped to handle specialised nuclear, biological, and chemical protection systems. Small and medium enterprises that adhere to ISO 9001:2015 standards and technological proficiency are particularly well-suited for this open procurement procedure. Participation could not only enhance business credentials but also foster long-term partnerships with a central government public authority, leveraging the substantial contract value of £5.4 million gross. By engaging successfully, businesses can position themselves as key players in supporting the UK’s defence infrastructure.
