UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the refurbishment of a large autoclave sterilisation unit, titled "UKRI-5139 BMM Weston Autoclave Number 2 Refurbishment," was carried out by UK Research & Innovation, a sub-central government public authority based in Swindon, UK. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically repair and maintenance services for autoclaves. The process was conducted using a limited procurement method below threshold, indicating a restricted competitive approach. The contract was awarded on the 7th of August 2025 to ESTS GB Ltd, an SME located in Daventry, UK, with the contract period spanning from the 11th of August to the 8th of September 2025. The legal basis for this procurement rested on the UKPGA 2023/54 legislation.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses with expertise in professional maintenance and installation services of autoclave units. Such businesses, particularly those operating as SMEs within the UK, could benefit from engaging in similar tender opportunities. Companies skilled in providing technical services and holding a strong track record in equipment refurbishment, especially in the healthcare or scientific research sectors, would find themselves well-positioned to compete in this industry. The limited competition method used implies that well-established firms with specific capabilities and a robust portfolio in this niche area would have a competitive edge.
