## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Defence Equipment and Support, a central government public authority based in Bristol, involves a direct award of a contract for the Chamber In Service Support Transparency Notice. This initiative falls under the defence and security industry category and encompasses services such as maintenance, technical support, repair, and training related to the Chamber system for military textiles. Given the nature of the procurement method as a direct award, the tender was justified under section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023 for technical reasons, due to the exclusive capability of the selected supplier, P2i Ltd. The contract spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, with potential extensions up to 2030, bearing an estimated maximum value of £244,000 excluding VAT.

The awarded contract to P2i Ltd presents business growth opportunities primarily to organisations involved in defence sector service provision, particularly those specialising in textile treatment and technical support services. The Chamber system's unique application for military textiles implies that businesses with relevant technological capabilities and specialised expertise, like P2i Ltd, would be better suited for similar contracts in future procurement. Opportunities are specially geared towards small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) possessing the necessary intellectual property rights and technical expertise. This procurement showcases how specialised skills and proprietary technologies can lead to direct awards, especially where competition is limited by existing technical constraints.

## Notice

The contract will be for an initial one-year term with four optional one year periods giving a maximum term of five years and will have an estimated maximum value of PS244,000.00 (Ex VAT).
