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 public authority within the central government, based in Swindon, Wiltshire. This tender, under the industry category of building construction work, involved the refurbishment of a ground floor, which was directly awarded. Due to technical compatibility, only one supplier was deemed suitable. The procurement method was direct, bypassing competition due to being below the threshold. The process reached the award stage, with the status marked as complete. The contract was signed on 22nd August 2025, with the project period spanning from 23rd August 2025 to 29th August 2025.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in construction work, particularly those with experience in government contracts and refurbishment projects. While the direct award in this instance limited competitive bidding, similar opportunities may arise for firms with technical capabilities that align closely with the project requirements. Large-scale construction companies, like the awarded supplier Overbury Plc, would be well-suited to undertake such projects given their resource strength and relevant expertise. Engaging with entities such as UKRI could pave the way for long-term partnerships and successive procurement opportunities within the public sector.
