## Summary

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) procured a TRLi G DPSS 200-200 laser. This is a goods purchase in the laser equipment category. The requirement is for the equipment itself; the procurement description does not give further detail on its intended application or associated services. Dstl is the buying organisation, based at Porton Down near Salisbury. The selected supplier, Litron Lasers Limited, is based in Rugby. The purchase relates to a single lot.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Litron Lasers Limited. Dstl used a limited competition below the applicable threshold. The published data does not state the evaluation criteria. The contract was signed on 21 October 2026 and runs from that date until 31 January 2027. Its value is £84,100 excluding VAT (£100,920 including VAT). The award is active, and the contract is active. The procurement comprised one lot, which is complete.

This award shows Dstl buying a TRLi G DPSS 200-200 laser through a below-threshold limited competition. Suppliers considering this buyer’s future requirement would need to provide the specified laser equipment and be credible in a restricted competition route. Litron Lasers Limited, the selected supplier, is an SME, demonstrating that a small business can supply this requirement. The purchase is a focused equipment supply rather than a described package of services or works. Capability to supply the named laser product is therefore central to competing for the same requirement if it returns to market. The award provides a concrete example of Dstl’s demand for laser equipment and the type of supplier selected.
