## Summary

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), a central government public authority based in Salisbury, United Kingdom, has completed a procurement process for the supply of 280 Gore-Tex Remedia Filter Bags. These are essential for the Dstl Incinerator Facility, an installation requiring stringent emissions control as per Environment Agency permits, underpinning its role within the Defence Critical National Infrastructure. The process, a direct award under the UK's Defence and Security special regime, concluded with a signed contract on 5th December 2025, following a standstill period from 20th November 2025 to 1st December 2025. The contract is active from 1st January 2026 to 31st March 2026, with a total value of £315,948, of which £263,290 is the net amount. The procurement was executed under the Procurement Act 2023, justified by the irreplaceability of the specific Gore-Tex bags needed to meet compliance requirements.

This procurement represents substantial business growth potential, particularly for companies within the supply chain of environmental control systems, incineration, and emissions monitoring. While the specific contract was directly awarded to W.L. Gore & Associates GmbH due to their unique capability to supply Gore-Tex Remedia Filter Bags, the opportunity highlights a niche market of high-value and specialised goods that other businesses might target. Companies looking to engage with the Ministry of Defence or similar public sector entities could benefit from understanding technological requirements and gaining necessary certifications to become eligible suppliers for future related tenders. The focus on exclusive products indicates a market space where businesses with unique, compliance-ready innovations could thrive.

Supply of x280 Gore-tex Remedia Filter Bags in support of the Dstl Incinerator Facility

### Procurement Information

It is considered that this contract can be awarded under Section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023 because the direct award justification specified in paragraph 6 (a) and (b) of Schedule 5 applies. The Dstl incinerator is an EA permitted facility and part of the Defence Critical National Infrastructure. Emissions from the facility must be strictly controlled and monitored. The Gore-Tex bags are a critical component in the abatement system. The system removes harmful gases and particulate matter generated during the incineration process to ensure that emissions are kept within the limits defined within the EA permit. The monitoring requirements of the EA permit states we must specifically use Gore-Tex bags. Using a different product that has not been approved by the EA would result in Dstl being in breach of the permit. W.L Gore and Associates GmbH are the only supplier that can provide the Gore-Tex bags and there are no other alternatives on the market.
