## Summary

The Department for Transport (DfT) located in London, UK, has awarded a contract for the extension of maintenance and consumables services related to Explosive Trace Detection (ETD) machines. This contract, valued at £89,524, is part of the finalised award stage in the procurement process, with Rapiscan Systems Ltd as the supplier. The procurement falls under the industry category of repair and maintenance services of security equipment. The initial extension runs from 31st December 2024 to 31st July 2025, following a direct procurement method as a single tender action below threshold, mandated by the Department for Transport. It aims to ensure the reliable operation of ETD machines deployed overseas, which are crucial for security measures by airports and airlines.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in maintenance and technical services within the security sector, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies with expertise in the upkeep of security equipment and who can provide consistent maintenance and consumables would find themselves well-suited to compete for similar contracts, as long as they comply with the rigorous standards required by DfT. Engaging in projects of this nature allows businesses not only to showcase their technological prowess but also to expand their influence in international aviation security infrastructure, creating opportunities for growth and partnership on a global scale.

## Notice

Rapiscan Systems Ltd have since 2009 been awarded through various open competitions provided DfT with 'Planned Preventative Maintenance' service plans per year; and, adhoc Corrective Maintenance' + provision of consumables associated with Explosive Trace Detection (ETD) machines, which were produced by Rapiscan Systems Ltd themselves. DfT are responsible for ensuring the ETD machines are kept in good working order for use by end users at overseas airports, whether by host states or airlines, the latter of which undertake additional measures at the gate in certain countries. Therefore, whilst DfT retains this responsibility, it requires provision for Services for DfT ASIO's Explosive Trace Detection machines currently deployed overseas. The provision of this service will be continually reviewed and may require further extensions to continue these services. This award is for a further extension to December 2024.
