Summary of the contracting process

The Fixed Crane Maintenance Service contract was initiated by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) for the maintenance of fixed cranes at their Culham Campus in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. This procurement process falls under the 'services' category and is classified under CPV code 50531400 for repair and maintenance services of cranes. The process has transitioned to the award stage, with the contract being awarded to Konecranes Demag UK Limited, effective from 14 July 2025. The procurement method used was an open procedure, aligning with the standards of the GPA. Although the original tender period ended on 8 April 2025, adjustments were made due to amendments earlier in the process.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in crane maintenance services, particularly those with expertise in handling overhead cranes and the necessary qualifications for large-scale facility operations. Companies that can demonstrate competency in social value initiatives, relevant project experience, and effective operational methodologies would have been well-suited to compete for this contract. The contract's three-year term, with an option for extension, presents additional business continuity and potential for further engagement with a prominent public sector authority like UKAEA. With a bid submission rate that included contributions from several SMEs, the process underscored the competitive landscape and the potential for dynamic business growth within the UK's public procurement sector.
