## Summary

In a recent procurement process completed by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), the laboratory sought the purchase of a 4x4 vehicle under the category of passenger cars. The procurement consisted of a direct single tender action, specifically aimed at below-threshold procurements, and concluded on 10 November 2024. The contract, valued at £21,432, was awarded to Oakwood Specialist Cars, an SME based in Whitley Bay. The contract was active from 11 November 2024 to 12 November 2024, with the delivery expected in the South West region of the United Kingdom. This award was subsequently published on 20 December 2024.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to engage in government contracts. The direct procurement method indicates a streamlined and competitive process well-suited for businesses adept at quick and efficient responses to bespoke needs. The focus on a specialised vehicle purchase offers niche automotive suppliers or dealerships, especially those capable of providing tailored solutions, a chance to collaborate with a prominent government entity like the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory.
