Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process, initiated by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), focuses on the removal and replacement of a stone balustrade on the 1894 Building. This project falls under the works category, and UKRI, located in Swindon, Wiltshire, is the buying organisation leading the initiative. The contract, titled "UKRI-5721", was awarded through a direct procurement method below the threshold, meaning it was executed without competition, highlighting niche expertise. The contract commenced on 12th February 2026 and will be active until 31st March 2026, with its location specified within the United Kingdom. The tender reached its completion stage, with details available for viewing on the UKRI website.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in stonework, particularly those with the capability to handle detailed restoration projects. The contract was awarded to GC Stonemasons Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Bannockburn, suggesting that SMEs with expertise in stone masonry might find themselves well-positioned to engage with similar projects. Given the direct procurement method employed, businesses with a proven track record in delivering quality stonework could benefit by establishing relationships with public authorities for future opportunities. Additionally, the tender does not involve competition, thus offering a potential growth avenue for businesses adept at meeting specific contractual requirements without traditional bidding challenges.
