## Summary

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory bought repair and maintenance services for pumps, valves, taps, metal containers and machinery. The work is for its operational equipment and is delivered in South West England. The requirement is a services contract, managed by the laboratory, which is based at Porton Down near Salisbury. The scope is described at a broad equipment-category level, covering maintenance and repair rather than the supply of new equipment. This purchase is relevant to firms that service or repair the listed equipment and can deliver work across the South West. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable for the requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Facultatieve Technologies Limited on 26 September 2026. It was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded value is £1,045,833.33, compared with an estimated procurement value of £1,045,333.32. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The tender submission deadline was 4 September 2026 at 5pm. The procurement information does not describe the evaluation criteria, so the basis for comparing suppliers cannot be stated. The award is active. The work was procured as one requirement, with no separate lots recorded.

For a supplier considering similar work for the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, the award demonstrates demand for repair and maintenance across pumps, valves, taps, metal containers and machinery, delivered in the South West. A credible competitor would need the technical ability and service capacity to maintain and repair this range of equipment, and to cover the required delivery area. The call-off route shows that this purchase was made through a framework agreement, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need to be positioned to compete through the relevant framework route. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable, making the requirement potentially relevant to specialist maintenance firms as well as larger service providers. The selected supplier’s award indicates that a maintenance provider for this equipment scope met the buyer’s requirements.
