Dental Directory are the victors in the battle for a multi-million pound four-year contract to replace and install dental equipment across the Ministry of Defence's estate.
The contract will see Dental Directory become the sole supplier and installer of around 200 replacement A-dec dental chairs and almost 300 Acteon intraoral x-ray systems.
Its team of 60 UK-based engineers will install equipment in a variety of unusual locations on behalf of the Ministry of Defence, including warships and military bases.
Scott Selbie, Technical Services Director for Dental Directory said: 'We're delighted to have been awarded this prestigious contract.
'We have a proven track record when it comes to delivering projects on this scale and our close relationships with the Ministry of Defence's preferred brands, A-dec and Acteon, made our proposal extremely competitive.
'Many of our growing team of UK engineers have military experience and a working knowledge of the challenges these locations can bring to installation projects. It's an exciting contract and we're thrilled to be playing a part in it.'
The contract was won by Dental Directory following a competitive tender process run by Team Leidos, procurement partners for the Ministry of Defence and will run exclusively until 2023.
