This tender, identified by DSTL0000039621, concluded with a value of £17,531.97 GBP. The procurement process included a tender period end date of 8th December 2024, with the contract period spanning from 9th December 2024 to 12th December 2024. The awarded contract went to Warehouse Express Group Ltd, a large supplier, with the award notice published on 10th January 2025 and updated on 20th February 2025.

This procurement provides an opportunity for businesses supplying photography equipment to engage with government entities like the DSTL.

Engaging in these tenders can help SMEs expand their portfolio and establish valuable connections within the public sector.
