## Summary

DE&S Deca, a division of the Ministry of Defence and central government public authority in the UK, is in the planning stage of a procurement process to supply Heat Stress Monitors. The procurement involves the acquisition of approximately 630 QT-34 Heat Stress Monitors over a four-year period, with the procurement category classified under goods, specifically hygiene monitoring and testing equipment. This procurement process is planned to proceed following the completion of market engagement activities that were concluded by February 2025. Future notices related to this tender will be communicated by 7th May 2026. The operation is set to start on 20th July 2026, extending until 22nd July 2030, and will be accessible for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

This procurement presents excellent business growth opportunities, especially for companies involved in the production and supply of hygiene monitoring and testing equipment. SMEs well-positioned within this industry category have the potential to benefit significantly, given the project's sizeable scope and the provision for entities suited for small to medium business operations. This opportunity is particularly advantageous for businesses looking to establish or expand their footprint in public sector procurement within the UK's central government supply chain. The anticipated volume and timeframe offer sufficient potential for steady income and operational scaling for the right supplier.

## Notice
