Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process pertains to a contract awarded by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) for the manufacture and fabrication of large vacuum chambers, specifically for the EPAC Compressor Chambers 1 and 2. This project falls under the goods category, specifically within the vacuum pumps industry, with a contract value of £984,300. The procurement method was limited, entailing an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on 14th July 2022, and the related work is to be conducted in Oxfordshire, UK. Notably, this contract was previously tendered under reference UKRI-2050 but was reissued after no compliant bids were received.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in engineering and manufacturing, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in design and fabrication of complex machinery like vacuum vessels. Companies able to demonstrate quality craftsmanship and competitive pricing are well-positioned to compete in this process, particularly those with experience in vacuum technology and relevant industry standards set forth by the buyer, UKRI. The focus on quality in the evaluation criteria suggests that businesses excelling in innovative engineering solutions would have a competitive edge in future tenders of this nature.
