## Summary

The public procurement process for the contract titled "Supply and Servicing of Portable Gas Detectors" was overseen by United Utilities Water Limited, a major organisation in the water industry in the UK. This procurement, identified as PRO004730 and classified under CPV code 38543000 for gas-detection equipment, aimed to enhance the safety of employees in areas with potential gas hazards. The process, conducted as an open procedure, moved from the tender stage in April 2024 to the award and contract completion stages by May 2025. Two lots were initially planned, covering the servicing of existing gas detectors and the supply and servicing of new ones, but both were subsequently cancelled.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in safety equipment and services pertinent to gas detection. Companies within this sector, particularly those capable of fulfilling comprehensive supply and maintenance contracts, are well-suited to compete. The open procurement process ensures fair competition, thereby allowing large-scale suppliers to potentially secure substantial contracts with prominent organisations like United Utilities Water Limited.
