Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the UKRI-5199 Boulby Laboratory Facility Works was managed by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), headquartered in Swindon, Wiltshire. The tender involves Stage 1 of the Manufacturing & Assembly Laboratory Design & Excavation Works at the Boulby Underground Laboratory and falls under the works category. This direct award procurement was chosen due to the technical reasons that only one supplier, Amalgamated Construction Ltd, possesses the necessary qualifications. The contract commenced on 24th September 2025 and is scheduled to conclude on 20th February 2026, with the total contract value being £236,952 gross. The procurement stage for this project is complete.

This contract offers significant business growth potential, especially for companies experienced in laboratory construction and related services. The project is particularly advantageous for larger firms with the capacity to handle complex, specialised underground laboratory projects. This opportunity suits businesses with expertise in delivering ancillary building services as required for the Boulby laboratory and can be particularly appealing to firms looking for repeat engagements with UK central government bodies, such as UKRI, due to the technical continuity of this procurement.
