## Summary

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory procured minor mechanical and electrical (M&E) and civil construction works for its estate. The requirement covers construction work delivered under an NEC4 Term Service Contract, indicating a programme of responsive or planned works across the buyer’s estate rather than a single standalone construction project. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is a central government public authority based at Porton Down, Salisbury. The procurement is classified as works, with the main activity described as construction work. This opportunity is relevant to building contractors and specialist construction businesses able to undertake both M&E and civil works, coordinate activities across an operational science and technology estate, and work within NEC4 term-service arrangements. The requirement was organised as one completed lot.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. The award was made to CONCEPT BUILDING SERVICES (SOUTHERN) LTD on 20 August 2026. The awarded value is £3,000,000 excluding VAT and £3,600,000 including VAT. The award contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 2 September 2029, with a maximum extent to 2 September 2031. It includes two optional 12-month renewal periods. A future signature milestone was scheduled for 3 September 2026. The award is active and relates to the single completed lot. The procurement used an NEC4 Term Service Contract, and the selected supplier is an SME. The route and outcome indicate that this requirement was placed without a competitive tender, so the award is not an invitation to submit a bid.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates established demand from the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory for combined M&E and civil construction services across its estate. A credible future competitor would need practical capability spanning both building-services work and civil construction, rather than a narrow single-trade offer. It would also need the operational capacity to manage minor works delivered under a term-service model, respond to the buyer’s estate requirements, and work effectively within NEC4 contractual processes. Experience of government, scientific, secure or otherwise operational estates would help demonstrate an understanding of controlled working environments, coordination and continuity of service, although the published outcome does not set out specific accreditation or technical requirements. The selected supplier’s SME status indicates that this scale of requirement can be delivered by a suitably capable smaller business.
