## Summary

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) has completed a procurement process for the title 'Non-Metal Impregnant Adsorbants', aimed at developing and assessing granular adsorbent materials for respiratory protection against chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial chemicals. This procurement falls under the services category related to research and development on security and defence materials. The contract was awarded based on a competitive quotation method, with a total value of £24,705. The contract period commenced on 15 October 2021 and will conclude on 15 March 2022, with the relevant delivery location noted as Leeds (LS2 7PN).

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the materials science and defence sectors, particularly those specialising in environmentally sustainable products and innovations for respiratory protection systems. Suppliers with expertise in the development of chemical absorbents or those able to demonstrate sustainable practices in their sourcing and manufacturing processes would be particularly well-suited to engage in future tenders of a similar nature. The emphasis on renewable feedstocks and low-toxicity solutions positions this tender as an excellent prospect for SMEs and other specialised vendors within the defence supply chain.

## Notice

Dstl would like to develop and evaluate granular adsorbent materials for respiratory protection against vapours of chemical warfare agents (CWA) and toxic industrial chemical and materials (TICs and TIMs). The adsorbent granules should be suitable for use in respirator canisters, be environmentally sustainable, particularly with respect to the use of renewable feedstocks and the absence of potentially toxic metals impregnated on the adsorbent and be resistant to ageing.
