Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Natural Resources Wales involved the acquisition of an Optical Gas Imaging Camera, critical for identifying and quantifying methane and other volatile organic compounds. Categorised under the gas-detection equipment sector, this contract was awarded to OSS Enviro Ltd, a small to medium enterprise, with the procurement phase classified as 'Award' and a limited competition method used due to its below-threshold status. The procurement took place in Cardiff, United Kingdom, and adheres to Welsh devolved regulations. The contract commenced on 24th February 2026 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2026, with the total gross value amounting to £84,000.
