UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation, a central government public authority, has awarded a contract for the renewal of storage space services to Bizspace Ltd, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd acting as the procuring entity. The procurement process was concluded directly without competition, owing to technical reasons restricting the ability to source the required services from multiple suppliers. The contract, valued at a gross amount of £27,734, spans from 1st December 2025 to 30th November 2026, and involves the storage of scientific equipment in the UK, specifically Swindon. This procurement falls under the services category and was conducted under the legal basis UKPGA 2023/54. The award signifies the completion of the contracting process.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in storage and warehousing services, especially those equipped to meet specialised scientific storage needs. While this specific tender was not competitive, understanding the needs and procurement methods of UK Research and Innovation could inform future business strategies and allow companies to prepare for upcoming opportunities in related service provisions. Businesses specialising in storage solutions, particularly those with the capacity to support scientific and technical equipment, would be well-positioned to engage with similar tenders, potentially expanding their reach and customer base in the public sector.
