## Summary

The Home Office procured servicing and maintenance of breathing equipment used in its operations. The requirement covers breathing apparatus and related vessel repair services, with the associated classification also referring to marine patrol vessels. This is a specialist maintenance services contract rather than a purchase of new equipment or vessels. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The requirement was handled as a single service lot. The selected provider is INTERSPIRO LIMITED, a large UK-based supplier with premises in Telford. Businesses operating in breathing apparatus maintenance, marine equipment servicing, vessel support or related specialist engineering should assess whether their technical capability matches the equipment and operational context involved.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The Home Office used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, and awarded the contract to INTERSPIRO LIMITED as the original equipment manufacturer. The award was made on 1 September 2026. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £11,666.67 excluding tax, or £14,000 including tax. The contract is active. The process consisted of one completed lot covering the breathing equipment servicing and maintenance requirement. The published evaluation route was therefore a direct award rather than a competitive assessment of bids.

This award shows a defined Home Office requirement for specialist servicing and maintenance of breathing equipment, including breathing apparatus associated with marine patrol vessel operations. A future competitor would need credible technical expertise in inspecting, servicing, repairing and maintaining this type of life-support equipment, together with the ability to work within a UK-wide operational requirement. The selected supplier’s original equipment manufacturer status indicates that familiarity with the relevant equipment design, components, servicing procedures and technical standards is commercially important. Suppliers should also be able to support vessel-related environments and demonstrate dependable engineering quality, maintenance controls and response capacity. Specialist equipment manufacturers, authorised service providers and experienced marine engineering businesses are the most relevant comparator organisations.
