Summary of the contracting process

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, a central government public authority located in Salisbury, UK, has completed a procurement process for the supply of plant equipment, transport, compressors, and fuel under a direct procurement method without competition, classified as below threshold. The award and contract associated with this tender were finalised on 18 December 2025, with the contract period slated from 1 January 2026 to 31 March 2026. The procurement falls within the services category, specifically related to the installation services of waste incinerators, a key consideration for businesses specialising in this niche industry.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses with expertise in supplying complex equipment and associated services, particularly those with capabilities in the defence and security sectors. The tender's below-threshold, non-competitive nature suggests an opportunity for niche or specialised suppliers, such as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like S. H. L. Refractories (U.K.) Limited, which successfully secured this contract. Business growth can stem from such engagements through building a portfolio of government contracts, enhancing reputation, and gaining visibility in specialised government procurement domains.
