UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, conducted by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), involved the acquisition of laboratory furniture for a lab refit. The process, titled "UKRI 5711 - Lab Furniture for Lab Refit," falls within the category of goods and is focused in Swindon, Wiltshire, UK. The procurement stage is now complete, with the contract awarded to Koettermann UK Ltd. The award notice dated 4th February 2026 signifies the successful conclusion of the tender, which was initially signed on 27th January 2026, with the contract period running from 28th January to 13th March 2026. The procurement method was limited, specifically under the "Below threshold - limited competition" classification, and the total contract value was £97,303.20 GBP.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in manufacturing and supplying laboratory furniture, to engage with central government procurement processes. While Koettermann UK Ltd, a large scale supplier, secured the award, similar contracts in the future could benefit SMEs in the laboratory equipment sector, especially those that can deliver bespoke, quality solutions under competitive conditions. Companies looking to grow in the public sector marketplace should consider aligning their offerings with the specific needs of organisations like UKRI, as they frequently engage in significant procurement projects across the UK.
