Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime procured nitrous oxide, described as nitrogen oxides, from Belvedere for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement covered 33 pallets with a total weight of 25 tonnes. This is a goods procurement rather than a service or works contract, and the named buyer is a sub-central public authority based in London. The purchased material is classified under CPV 24112200, nitrogen oxides. Businesses relevant to this requirement would be involved in supplying, handling and transporting nitrous oxide at pallet and tonne scale, with the ability to support delivery from Belvedere to the required UK destination. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement rather than a set of separately described goods or service packages.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Biffa Waste Services Limited. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the procurement method recorded as unknown. The award covered the single lot and has active status. The contract was signed on 12 March 2025, ran from 12 March 2025 to 11 April 2025, and had a value of £45,000 excluding VAT, or £54,000 including VAT. The award outcome relates to the full 33-pallet, 25-tonne requirement. The published outcome identifies Biffa Waste Services Limited as the selected supplier. The contracting process therefore records a completed purchase with a short contract period and a defined awarded value, rather than an unawarded or cancelled opportunity.

This procurement is relevant to established suppliers able to provide nitrous oxide or comparable nitrogen oxide products, organise palletised deliveries, and manage a total consignment measured in tens of tonnes. A credible competitor would need dependable supply arrangements, suitable storage and transport capability, and operational capacity to move 33 pallets from Belvedere to a UK delivery location within a short contract term. The award to Biffa Waste Services Limited, a large supplier, indicates that the buyer’s requirement was met by an organisation with substantial commercial and logistical capacity. Suppliers monitoring this buyer should therefore be able to demonstrate reliable bulk-material fulfilment, coordinated UK distribution and the ability to respond efficiently to a below-threshold purchasing route for a tightly defined goods requirement.
