## Summary

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory has concluded an award process for the procurement of Laboratory Equipment Components in Salisbury, England. The contracting process was initiated through a tender with a direct procurement method and a single tender action. The contract period extends from 4th October 2023 to 11th October 2023, indicating a recently completed procurement stage with a total contract value of £10,043 GBP.

This awarded tender presents business growth opportunities for suppliers focused on repair and maintenance services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like BRONKHORST (UK) LIMITED, the successful supplier, are well-suited to compete in similar procurement processes. Suppliers capable of providing bespoke equipment components while aligning with existing systems can leverage such tenders for revenue growth and market expansion.

## Notice

We are currently fabricating a bespoke chemical reactor system through an extramural collaboration with the University of Cambridge. To mitigate potential integration challenges, and minimize further project delays, the decision was made to repurpose existing equipment whenever feasible. In line with this approach, additional pressure control equipment would be required to be Bronkhorst to maintain compatibility with the existing mass flow and pumping systems. Bronkhorst employs a proprietary communication protocol previously developed in-house drivers and has the necessary knowledge base and experience to incorporate them into new systems. This approach will help to reduce costs by maintaining compatibility with existing equipment while also de-risking our project, .
