Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "UKRI-5200 IVC Racking and Change Stations," was managed by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) and focuses on the purchase of IVC racking, a change station, and a double-decker change station. The procurement falls under the industry category of "Miscellaneous furniture and equipment" and has been completed. The procurement method employed was direct, due to its below-threshold nature, and did not involve competition. The main location for delivery is within the UKH12 region in the United Kingdom. The contract was signed on 3rd September 2025, and the contract period runs from 4th September to 4th December 2025, with a gross value of £45,977.20.

This tender provides an opportunity for growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Tecniplast UK Ltd, which was awarded the contract as the supplier. Businesses specialising in furniture, equipment, or those offering innovative storage solutions would find similar tenders favourable for competition. The nature of this procurement suggests opportunities for companies that can provide quick and cost-effective fulfilment of below-threshold government contracts, particularly those seeking to expand their footprint in public sector markets. Engaging in these types of contracts can help businesses develop relationships with central government bodies and provide a steady flow of work.
