Dstl undertake a variety of Machining, Fabrication and Electro-Mechanical engineering activities in support of Tasks placed on the organisation within a dynamic Defence environment.
The range of Tasks dictates the type, scale and sensitivity of requirements on a case-by-case basis, and is often requested within very tight timescales.

This Framework Agreement is divided into three Lots:
– Lot 1: Machining

– Lot 3: Electro-Mechanical
Bidders may submit a response in relation to one or more of these three Lots.
