The procurement process involves the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) announcing the award of a contract for the "Supply Installation and Commissioning of a 5-Axis Machine Centre," part of an initiative in the machine tools industry located in Salisbury, England. This tender was conducted under the open procurement method, following the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

The tender originally closed for submissions on 8th January 2021.

The contract's successful supplier, DMG MORI UK LIMITED, exemplifies the type of established businesses that might compete, but there remains significant scope for other capable firms to become involved.
