We establish a precompactness result in the \(C^α\)-Hölder topologie on the space of Riemannian metrics, for some \(α>0\), for the set of metrics \(\tilde{g}\) conformal to \(g\), with volume equal to that of the standard sphere \(\mathbb{S}^n\), whose \(Q\)-curvature is nonnegative and uniformly bounded in \(L^p(M,\tilde{g})\) for some \(p > \frac{n}{4}\), and whose first positive eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator satisfies \( λ_1(M,\tilde{g}) \ge n + \frac{1}Λ \) for some positive constant \(Λ\).
