UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation has successfully concluded a public procurement for the rental of storage units, focusing on the central government authority's needs located in Swindon, United Kingdom. The procurement, titled "CSP26223 - Storage Unit Rental," fell under the services industry category, specifically for storage units and non-residential property renting services. The process utilised a direct procurement method without competition due to the absence of reasonable alternatives, adhering to the legal basis defined by the UKPGA 2023/54. The contract, valued at approximately £19,587.36 gross, was signed on 4th February 2026 and is active from 5th February 2026 to 14th February 2027, as documented in the contract notice published on 19th February 2026.

This tender presents potential business growth opportunities for companies specialising in storage and property leasing services, particularly those based in the UK. With the procurement being completed directly, it suggests limited competition if similar requirements arise again. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the vicinity, like The Self Storage Company (Didcot) Ltd, which were identified as suppliers, are well-suited to compete due to their proximity and expertise in these services. The procurement method shows a strategic approach to contracting, providing an opportunity for local businesses to connect with public authorities seeking targeted services without the complexities of broader competition.
