## Summary

Gwent Police is buying Lion Laboratories Intoxilyzer 9000UK evidential breath alcohol testing equipment. The requirement covers the supply, installation, maintenance and support of instruments used for evidential breath testing. It is a goods procurement covering police equipment and testing and measuring apparatus. Delivery and related activity are in Gwent and Monmouthshire, supporting policing operations across these South Wales areas. The buying organisation is Gwent Police, based at its headquarters in Cwmbran. The selected supplier, Lion Laboratories Limited, is based in Barry and manufactures the specified Intoxilyzer equipment. The procurement is tied to Lot 1 of the National Framework for the Supply, Installation and Maintenance of Alcohol Breath Testing Equipment, so the requirement is particularly relevant to manufacturers and specialist providers of evidential breath-testing systems and associated technical support.

This procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Lion Laboratories Limited through a selective, non-competitive call-off under the BLC0169 national framework, using the below-threshold framework award route. The award was made on 30 July 2026. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 27 July 2036. Its value is £128,586 excluding VAT and £154,303 including VAT. The award covers the single completed lot for Intoxilyzer 9000UK evidential breath-testing instruments and associated installation, maintenance and support. This was a direct framework call-off rather than an open competition, so access to the relevant framework was central to participation. The contract is recorded as active, while the tender is complete.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this award shows a long-term police requirement for evidential alcohol breath-testing equipment rather than a one-off product purchase. A credible competitor would need a proven evidential breath-testing system, technical expertise in installation and commissioning, and the ability to provide dependable maintenance, servicing and user support over an extended operational period. Experience supplying police or other enforcement organisations would help demonstrate understanding of evidential accuracy, equipment reliability, operational continuity and support obligations. The winning business is an SME specialising in this equipment, indicating that specialist firms can compete where they have the required product and service capability. Suppliers would also need access to the relevant national framework route, as this requirement was awarded through a framework call-off rather than an open tender.
