Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a central government public authority based in Swindon, Wiltshire, focused on acquiring replacement Grundfos pumps. This tender, under the title "UKRI-5303 Grundfos Pumps," falls under the goods category and was completed using a limited procurement method. The procurement involved restricted competition, as it was below threshold. The award stage was completed with the contract awarded to Cougar Pump Repairs Ltd on 8th October 2025. The contract, valued at £44,413.05, commenced on 9th October 2025 and is set to conclude on 6th March 2026. The procurement was compliant with Public Law 2023/54.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply of centrifugal pumps. The procurement process favoured limited competition, which can be advantageous for businesses that develop niche capabilities in pump repairs or manufacturing. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), like Cougar Pump Repairs Ltd, which secured the contract, are particularly well-suited to compete in such tenders, especially when they can offer specialised knowledge, tailored service offerings, or demonstrate capacity for rapid fulfilment of public sector requirements.
