Summary of the contracting process

The UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a central government public authority based in Swindon, Wiltshire, has successfully completed the procurement process titled "UKRI-5253 BAS Provision of hotelling in Falkland Islands" for the provision of hotel services for BAS personnel. This contract, particularly located in the Falkland Islands (region: FK), falls under the industry category of hotel, restaurant, and retail trade services. The process began with a direct procurement method that did not require competition due to it being below the threshold. The award was formalised on 30th September 2025, with the contract period spanning from 1st November 2025 to 31st October 2026. The total gross contract value is £114,000, with an amount of £95,000 excluding taxes.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for businesses involved in the hospitality and accommodation industry. Large-scale service providers, such as Stanley Services Limited, which successfully secured the contract, are well-suited to compete in such tenders due to their capacity to meet substantial service level agreements in remote locations like the Falkland Islands. Businesses adept at managing logistics and operations in challenging conditions, with the capability of providing essential services to government personnel, can benefit significantly by responding to similar direct procurements initiated by public authorities like UKRI.
