## Summary

The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime bought servicing for its forensic vacuum metal deposition system. The work is repair and maintenance of precision equipment: keeping this specialist forensic system serviced and operational. The procurement was for one service requirement, delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a specialist equipment-maintenance contract rather than a general facilities or routine cleaning service. The buyer is the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime, the public body responsible for the procurement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to WEST TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS LIMITED. The buyer used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. Its value is £50,549 excluding VAT, or £60,658.80 including VAT. The award is for the single servicing requirement. The published procurement information does not set out evaluation criteria or specific supplier eligibility conditions; the award was made without a competitive process.

For suppliers who did not win, this award is evidence that the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime buys specialist servicing for forensic vacuum metal deposition equipment. A credible competitor when this requirement next reaches the market would need the technical ability and service capacity to maintain this particular type of forensic system, along with experience working on precision equipment where reliable operation supports forensic use. The selected supplier, WEST TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS LIMITED, is an SME, showing that this specialist requirement was delivered by a smaller business. The buying route used for this contract was a below-threshold direct award without competition, so the award does not establish that future requirements will be competed or that any particular accreditation is required.
