Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime bought specialist servicing for three glue cabinets: the ForenteQ NINcha M31, MEGAfumes and MOBIfume. The requirement covers repair and maintenance of precision equipment used by the police service, rather than the supply of new cabinets or general facilities maintenance. The buying organisation is based in London, and the service is for delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a services requirement focused on maintaining named equipment so that it remains operational and suitable for its intended use. Businesses with expertise in specialist equipment servicing, particularly suppliers familiar with ForenteQ glue-cabinet systems or comparable laboratory and forensic equipment, are the closest fit.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot was awarded to FORENTEQ LIMITED, an SME, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 4 September 2026, runs from 4 September 2026 to 17 July 2031, and has a value of £42,308 excluding VAT, or £50,769.60 including VAT. The stated classification is repair and maintenance services for medical and precision equipment. The award was made for the complete requirement covering the three named glue cabinets, with no competitive evaluation between bidders. The contract remains active following the award.

This award indicates established demand for highly specialised maintenance of ForenteQ glue cabinets within a policing and forensic operating environment. A credible competing supplier would need practical knowledge of the NINcha M31, MEGAfumes and MOBIfume systems, or demonstrably equivalent expertise in servicing specialist laboratory, forensic or precision equipment. Relevant capability includes diagnosing faults, carrying out planned and corrective maintenance, preserving safe operation and returning equipment to service with minimal disruption. Suppliers should also be able to support a public-sector customer over a multi-year service arrangement and work across the United Kingdom. FORENTEQ LIMITED’s selection shows that a specialist equipment manufacturer or technically focused SME can satisfy this type of requirement.
