UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation has awarded a contract for the supply of security furniture under the title "CSP25117 Security Furniture" to Apex Security Engineering Ltd. This process was handled by UK Shared Business Services Ltd, serving as the procuring entity. This direct procurement was concluded without competition due to the specialised nature of the goods required, with the contract running from 5th July 2025 to 23rd July 2025. The total value of the contract amounts to £25,008.36, and it involves supplying goods within the United Kingdom. This notice was published on 15th July 2025, signalling the completion stage of the procurement process.

This procurement opportunity is an excellent venture for businesses specialising in the manufacturing and supply of security fittings. Although this particular procurement was closed without open competition, similar entities in the security goods sector may find future calls for quotations beneficial. However, given the necessity for technical specificity, businesses with robust expertise in providing custom security furniture solutions would be ideally positioned to capitalise on such opportunities when competition is accessible. Engaging with UK Research and Innovation as a central government buyer could also present further avenues for growth and collaboration in future projects within this sector.
