Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process summarised here involved the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) as the contracting authority, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd fulfilling the role of procuring entity. The tender, titled "GSS25321 - Wall Panels," falls under the industry category of construction structures and materials. It was conducted via a limited competition procurement method, indicating a more selective approach. The geographical focus is the United Kingdom, specifically Swindon, reflecting its central role in the procurement execution. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with key dates indicating that the contract, amounting to a gross value of £30,720, commenced on 22 April 2025 and is slated for completion on 30 May 2025.

This particular tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, especially for SMEs within the construction sector, such as TM Specialist Engineers Ltd, who were awarded the contract. Businesses specialising in construction materials and ancillary products can view this procurement as a pathway to potentially secure future contracts in collaborations with central governmental authorities like UKRI. The limited competition approach suggests that firms with specific niche capabilities or existing relationships with government entities could be well-suited to participate in similar tenders, bolstering their market presence and expanding their portfolios through government contracts.
