## Summary

The procurement process for the contract titled "Environmental Walk in Chamber" was managed by NPL Management Limited, located at the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington, United Kingdom. This procurement falls under the industry category of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment and industrial machinery. The contract was directly awarded to Weiss Technik UK Limited following an unsuccessful open tender process in 2024. The rationale for this direct procurement method was outlined in compliance with legal and regulatory guidelines, allowing engagement with the sole supplier that met user requirements. The contract, valued at £385,842 gross, commenced on 3rd March 2026 and is set to conclude on 30th September 2026. Key procurement stages have been completed, including contracts being awarded on 16th February 2026 with a standstill period scheduled to end on 25th February 2026. The goods are to be delivered within the UK, fostering opportunities for local business involvement.

This procurement creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory and industrial machinery, particularly those with the capacity to meet specific technical requirements. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) capable of providing tailored solutions to meet unique public sector needs can benefit from this procurement model. The involvement of Weiss Technik UK Limited, a recognised SME in Loughborough, serving as an example of successful engagement through direct award, illustrates the potential for other similar businesses to establish or expand their footprint in government contracts. Enterprises looking to partner with public undertakings such as NPL may find similar opportunities by demonstrating specialised capabilities that meet precise scientific and engineering demands.

Provision of Environmental Walk in Chamber

### Procurement Information

An Invitation to Tender was run in 2024 but the tender responses received were not suitable and a supplier could not be chosen. According to the PCR2015 regulation 32(2)(a) we demonstrated that we have discharged our legal duty to approach the market. Since we didn't receive any suitable tenders, we were allowed to terminate the procurement on the basis of having received no suitable bids. This then allowed us to engage with a single supplier. We did that and contacted the supplier Weiss Technik to engage with and obtain a quote from. In addition to the above the estates engineering and science teams have been through a thorough discussion and documentation of the User Requirement Document ensuring that the supplier will deliver exactly what is required of the chamber, from both a science and estates perspective.
