## Summary

QE Facilities Ltd commissioned a fumigation efficacy study covering two laboratories. The work is a specialist testing and assessment service to evaluate how effective fumigation is in laboratory settings; the associated classification is for repair and maintenance services, though the stated requirement is the efficacy study itself. The contract is associated with a single lot. The delivery location is recorded as the United Kingdom, without a more specific place. This requirement is relevant to laboratories and specialist providers able to carry out fumigation efficacy studies, particularly for multiple laboratory sites. QE Facilities Ltd is the buying organisation.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to Crowthorne Limited. The buyer used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 14 September 2026 and runs from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2027. Its value is £10,420 excluding VAT and £12,504 including VAT. The requirement was handled as one lot. The published procurement information describes the purchase as a fumigation efficacy study for two laboratories; it does not set out a separate evaluation or award scoring basis. The selected supplier is an SME. The contract is active.

This award shows QE Facilities Ltd buys fumigation efficacy testing for two laboratories through a below-threshold direct award. A supplier seeking to compete if this requirement returns to market would need credible capability to plan and perform efficacy studies across more than one laboratory, with suitable technical expertise in fumigation and testing. Experience producing reliable evidence of fumigation effectiveness would be central to demonstrating fit for the requirement. The award went to an SME, showing that this scale of specialist work was delivered by a smaller supplier rather than requiring a large contractor. Providers in laboratory testing, fumigation validation or closely relevant technical services are the most directly aligned competitors. The requirement is specific: broad facilities maintenance experience alone would not establish the specialist study capability indicated by this purchase.
