Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) has conducted a procurement process for the replacement of Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Plants at MRC Harwell under the title "UKRI-5117 MRC Harwell Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Plant". The process, led by a central government public authority, specifically targeted the goods category and took place in Swindon, Wiltshire, within the UKK14 region. Utilising an open procurement method, the initial tender phase closed on 3 December 2025, with the subsequent contract awarded and activated on 6 January 2026. The awarded contract is valued at £149,139.53 and will span from 7 January 2026 to 6 January 2028.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses providing filtration plant equipment and drinking water systems, particularly those capable of delivering high-quality technical solutions, as the evaluation criteria heavily weighted technical quality at 70%. SMEs were deemed suitable to compete, indicating a favourable environment for innovative smaller firms looking to expand into public sector contracts. Given the open procedure, businesses with experience in government contracts and those within the UKJ14 region would have been well-positioned to engage with this procurement.
