The contract, valued at £12,245,000 and awarded to Scott Health & Safety Ltd, spans from 26th June 2025 to 31st March 2028, with an option to extend for two additional years. The procurement process followed a direct procurement method, details specifying a negotiated procedure without prior publication. This contract encompasses support for existing equipment and potential additional procurements, serving locations including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the United Kingdom, and globally. This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs specialising in the maintenance and supply of firefighting and safety equipment, particularly those with capabilities in supporting critical defence infrastructure. Businesses equipped to deliver robust, high-quality service support and supply chain solutions in the defence sector, and particularly those aiming to expand their market reach to various territories within and beyond the United Kingdom, stand to benefit from such contracts. Given the nature of the procurement and its classifications under the CPV as "Breathing apparatus for firefighting," it suits businesses with experience in safety equipment for naval applications and a strategic interest in government contracts, potentially leading to growth and enhanced visibility in this niche market. ## Notice Defence Equipment and Support Group (DE&S), part of the UK Ministry of Defence (the Authority), have placed a single source contract with Scott Health & Safety Ltd who are owned by 3M.
