## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has awarded a contract titled "701547384 - Specialist Gases" for the supply of specialist test gases, valued at £100,000. This tender falls under the goods category, specifically for gases, and the contract is set to commence on 22 April 2021, running until 20 April 2026.

The delivery location for the contract is in the South East region of the United Kingdom, with the tender's period officially closing on 20 April 2021.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, especially those within the gas supply and specialist chemicals sector, to expand their operations and establish a relationship with a key governmental body.
