Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by UK Research and Innovation, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd as the procuring entity, focused on the anodisation treatment services, classified under the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services industry category. Located in Swindon, UK, the procurement method was a limited competition, concluded below the threshold, with a completion date of 29th August 2025. The contract was signed on the same day, and it covered a short service period from 30th to 31st August 2025. The procurement is governed under the legal basis 2023/54 with no call for competition notice due to its limited nature.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses specialising in surface treatment services, particularly those experienced in anodisation processes. As the contract was awarded to Metro Engineering and Plating Works Ltd, a large supplier, other firms in similar services could focus on future tenders of this nature by showcasing expertise in niche engineering treatments. This aligns well with companies looking to engage in limited competition tenders, providing a pathway for robust business growth through strategic partnerships within the public sector, especially if they can deliver high-quality solutions promptly.
