DfTc - Department for Transport awarded a contract to Smiths Detection Watford Ltd for the provision of planned preventative maintenance, ad hoc corrective maintenance, and consumables associated with Explosive Trace Detection (ETD) machines.

The ETD machines, produced by Smiths Detection Watford Ltd, were purchased by DfT and loaned to certain high-risk overseas airports that provide direct flights to the UK.

DfT is responsible for ensuring the machines are kept in good working order for use by end users at overseas airports, whether by host states or airlines.

The contract, valued at AUD 1,835,052, includes a break clause to enable the transfer of responsibility for purchasing consumables, parts kits, and maintenance to host states or airlines, with Smiths Detection Watford Ltd revising its quote to reflect the associated removal.
