Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is led by UK Shared Business Services Limited for the project titled "FM19222 - APA Winding Machine stages". This initiative falls within the scientific installations industry category and is located in Swindon, England. The process has reached the Award stage with a total contract value of £117,584.16, and it is set to commence on 1st November 2019, lasting until 31st March 2020. Initially, an open tender was attempted in July 2019, but it resulted in no compliant bids, prompting the use of a direct procurement method through a single tender action due to the niche nature of the required product.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in manufacturing and supplying scientific equipment or installations. Companies with expertise in producing movable stages or similar technical apparatus would be well-suited to engage with future tenders of this kind. Given the unique nature of the product required for the DUNE experiment, businesses that can demonstrate innovation and robustness in design and engineering solutions are likely to find competitive advantages in such specialised contracts.

Notice Title

FM19222 - APA Winding Machine stages

Notice Description

UKRI need to purchase a number of movable stages to construct "winding machines" in order to build Anode Plane Assemblies (APAs) for the DUNE experiment. These APAs are large steel frames with thousands of tiny wires wound around them. The APAs are part of the DUNE experiment and the UK will be building half of them (150 out of 300). The other half will be built in the US, by identical winding machines. UKRI went out to full Open tender in July 2019 (our ref FM19187) for this requirement but we did not receive any compliant bids. This recent test of the market had demonstrated that there was a limited supply base for this very niche product. UK SBS have concluded this Contract in line with article 32, 2 (a) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. General grounds (2) The negotiated procedure without prior publication may be used for public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts in any of the following cases:- (a) where no tenders, no suitable tenders, no requests to participate or no suitable requests to participate have been submitted in response to an open procedure or a restricted procedure, provided that the initial conditions of the contract are not substantially altered Additional information: UKRI went out to full Open tender in July 2019 (our ref FM19187) for this requirement but we did not receive any compliant bids.
