This is a framework contract under the industry category 'Wipes'. The contract, valued at £300,000, spans an initial three years with four additional option years, culminating in a total duration of seven years. The contract execution begins on 10th June 2024 and concludes on 31st March 2027. The procurement was conducted through a single source negotiated procedure without prior publication, as the requirement was deemed to be below the DSPCR threshold.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities particularly for suppliers specialising in chemical defence solutions. Given the specific technical capabilities required, businesses with expertise in manufacturing and supplying decontamination products would be well-suited to compete for similar future tenders. Moreover, such contracts provide a stable and long-term revenue stream given their extended duration and the high-value nature. Companies in the defence supply chain sector, particularly those registered as SMEs, have the potential to innovate and leverage their specialised products for similar government contracts. ## Notice The Specialist EOD&S, Exploitation and Countermeasures Project Team, part of the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (the Authority) awarded a contract to Emergent BioSolutions Canada Inc for the supply of Reactive Skin Decontamination Lotion (RSDL).
