UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "UKRI-5194 R68 Fit Out" was conducted by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a central government public authority based in Swindon, Wiltshire. This process fell under the industry category of building construction work and took place in the United Kingdom. The procurement used a direct method "below threshold - without competition" due to technical compatibility, allowing only one suitable supplier, Overbury Plc, to undertake the task. The contract was signed on 22 August 2025, covering the refurbishment of the R68 Ground floor with a contract period from 23 August to 29 August 2025. This procurement is now in the award stage, having been completed with a gross value of £101,508.10.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses specialising in building construction, particularly those capable of delivering specific technical requirements efficiently and within short time frames. Although the procurement method did not involve competition, similar future opportunities could provide suitable business growth paths for large construction firms adept at handling refurbishment projects in the public sector. Companies that can ensure quality, meet exact specifications, and have the capacity for rapid deployment may find such tenders well-aligned with their business capabilities and growth strategies.
