## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales procured evidential breath-testing equipment for policing use. The requirement covers the supply, installation, maintenance and support of Lion Laboratories Intoxilyzer 9000UK evidential breath alcohol testing equipment. It is a goods procurement involving police equipment and testing and measuring apparatus. The buying organisation is the Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales, based in Bridgend. Delivery is associated with South Wales and surrounding Welsh police service locations. The requirement concerns a complete equipment and support solution rather than standalone product supply, so relevant businesses would need to provide the instruments together with installation, ongoing maintenance and technical support. The selected supplier is Lion Laboratories Limited, a Barry-based small and medium-sized enterprise.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It was a non-competitive call-off under Lot 1 of the BLC0169 National Framework for the Supply, Installation and Maintenance of Alcohol Breath Testing Equipment, using a selective procedure and an award under framework arrangements. The contract was awarded to Lion Laboratories Limited on 6 August 2026. Its value is £342,896 excluding VAT and £411,475.20 including VAT. The award period runs from 10 August 2026 to 27 July 2036, while the signed contract runs from 20 August 2026 to 27 July 2036. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026. It contains agreed measures for delivery lead time, product quality and resolution within seven working days.

This award demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for evidential breath alcohol testing equipment and associated lifecycle services within South Wales policing. A credible future competitor would need to supply equipment suitable for evidential alcohol testing, install it reliably across relevant police locations, and support it throughout a long operating period. Capability in planned maintenance, fault diagnosis, repairs, calibration or testing support, and responsive customer service would be commercially relevant. Suppliers would also need to evidence consistent product quality, dependable delivery lead times and the ability to resolve issues within seven working days. The requirement favours businesses able to combine specialist testing equipment with field service capacity, technical support and long-term contract management, rather than manufacturers or resellers offering equipment without installation and maintenance capability.
