## Summary

The Ministry of Defence based in Bristol, United Kingdom, has completed an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition for the procurement of services related to the "Servicing and Life Extension of Respirex Gas Tight Suits". The procurement process, initiated as a tender, involved Respirex International Ltd as the active supplier for the Gas Tight Suit Servicing and Life Extension contract, valued at £24,310 GBP and signed on August 18, 2023.

This tender opportunity presents a chance for businesses specializing in repair services of garments and textiles to engage with the Ministry of Defence in the UK. Given the specific nature of the procurement method requiring the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for servicing and life extension, businesses offering niche expertise in this area would be well-suited to compete. As the contract has been awarded, interested businesses should monitor similar future opportunities within the Defence sector to explore potential growth avenues.
