Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office procured nationwide gas-monitor maintenance and training services for Border Force. The requirement covers specialist technical support for a fleet of gas-monitoring equipment, including routine servicing, calibration, repairs and maintenance. The appointed supplier also provides training so Border Force officers can operate and maintain the equipment safely and effectively. The equipment category includes gas-detection equipment (CPV 38543000), alongside repair and maintenance services for that equipment. Services are delivered throughout Great Britain and Northern Ireland. This is a specialist operational support requirement for businesses able to maintain, test and repair gas-monitoring devices, and to provide practical or technical training to operational staff. The contract is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the buyer did not restrict participation to large national suppliers.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. The tender closed on 1 June 2026, with enquiries closing on 26 May 2026. Tecto Group Ltd was awarded the single lot on 13 July 2026 for £60,000 excluding VAT, or £72,000 including VAT. The signed contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2028, with two possible one-year extensions, giving a maximum end date of 9 August 2030. The buyer also reserved an option for 12-month extended warranties for PS500 gas monitors. The successful bidder was selected on the best overall evaluation score. The contract includes electronic procurement through Jaggaer and is recorded as active.

This award shows that the Home Office values a supplier able to support gas-monitor fleets across Great Britain and Northern Ireland, combining field engineering, equipment maintenance and user training. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need technicians with OEM-approved servicing certification for PS500 monitors and other gas-monitoring devices in service. It would also need the operational capacity to acknowledge service requests and arrange engineer appointments within one working day, complete planned maintenance within 10 working days, and diagnose and repair faults within five working days. Reliable certification, accurate maintenance records and rapid access to documentation are central to performance. Firms combining specialist engineering capability, responsive nationwide coverage, compliance-focused record keeping and training expertise are best aligned with this buyer’s requirement.
