Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, initiated by NPL Management Limited, focuses on the "Helium Gas Purity Test Accommodation" contract, which involves constructing modular buildings for supporting a helium gas purity test facility. The process is under the "works" industry category and is located within the United Kingdom, specifically at the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington. Having reached the award stage, the contract was signed on 30 March 2026, with its details published on 22 April 2026. While the procurement was conducted via a below threshold method, specifics of its procurement method remain undisclosed.
