## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has awarded a contract to Fumecare LTD for the modification and future maintenance of fume extraction cabinets, with the contract award notice dated 6th October 2025. This contract, spanning from 2nd October 2025 to 2nd October 2030, involves the supply of spares and repair services for filtration cabinets used at various aircraft maintenance facilities across the UK. Classified under repair and maintenance services, the procurement method employed was a negotiated procedure without prior publication, signalling a limited procurement approach. The contract, worth £552,655 (excluding VAT and option years), supports continuity of maintenance over a potential nine-year period, encapsulating five initial years and four optional extension years.

This contract presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in repair and maintenance services, particularly those that can offer specialised solutions for hazardous fume extraction systems. Given its SME suitability, this tender incentivises small and medium-sized enterprises in the North West region and throughout the UK to engage. Businesses with expertise in defence sector maintenance requirements, capable of delivering high-standard, compliant, and efficient service over an extended period, would be well-positioned to benefit from such engagements and foster growth in public sector procurement frameworks.
