Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) has awarded a contract for the provision of through-wall telemanipulators for the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) Remote Handling project, part of the global DUNE experiment. The procurement falls under the mechanical handling equipment category (CPV: 42418500) and is to be delivered to various international locations, including British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure starting on 21st June 2024, with the contract period running from 22nd June 2024 to 30th May 2025. The total contract value amounts to GBP 165,728.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses that specialise in precision mechanical handling systems, particularly those capable of providing advanced telemanipulation equipment for scientific research purposes. UKRI's requirements highlight a clear opportunity for SMEs, although the contract has already been awarded to Walischmiller Engineering GmbH, a large-scale supplier. This project, being part of an international scientific collaboration, can offer businesses increased exposure and potential for further contracts within the scientific and engineering sectors. Businesses with expertise in high-precision, remote-controlled machinery would have been well-suited to compete for this tender.
