Summary of the contracting process

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory has completed the procurement process for the supply and installation of a glasswasher, under the contract titled "Glasswasher Installation." This procurement falls within the industry category of machinery for cleaning or drying bottles or other containers. The procurement was conducted without competition, as it was below the threshold, utilising a direct procurement method. Notably, the contract was signed on 2 December 2025 and will remain active until 30 January 2026. The goods must be delivered across multiple regions, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK, within the United Kingdom.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in glasswashing machinery and related services, especially those that can efficiently operate within stipulated timelines and locations across the United Kingdom. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with niche expertise in cleaning equipment could find lucrative prospects in similar procurements, especially given the streamlined nature of a below-threshold, direct procurement process. Collaborating with central government buyers such as the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory could foster future business opportunities and establish credibility in public sector markets.
