## Summary

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) procured mechanical and electrical minor works across its estate. The requirement covers building and infrastructure construction work delivered under an NEC4 Term Service Contract. The award is associated with delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a works requirement for contractors able to undertake a range of mechanical and electrical maintenance and minor projects across a government science and technology estate, rather than a purchase of standalone equipment. Dstl is the buying organisation; its Porton Down address is in Salisbury.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to K.J. Quinn Services Ltd. Dstl used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The award date was 8 October 2026, with a gross awarded value of £3.6 million (£3 million excluding VAT). The contract period runs from 20 October 2026 to 19 October 2029, with two optional 12-month extensions at Dstl’s sole discretion, potentially extending the term to 19 October 2031. The procurement was not divided into multiple lots. The work is being delivered under an NEC4 Term Service Contract; no evaluation criteria are stated in the available process details.

This award shows Dstl’s demand for mechanical and electrical minor works across its estate, delivered through an NEC4 Term Service Contract. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need the operational capacity to handle ongoing, varied building-services works across a government science and technology site, together with the project management and contract administration needed to work under NEC4 TSC terms. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that the awarded requirement was undertaken by a small or medium-sized business. The route used was a direct award without competition, so the outcome does not provide evidence about competitive scoring or technical thresholds. Contractors with relevant mechanical and electrical works capability and experience managing term-service delivery would be aligned with the requirement shown here.
