Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation has completed a procurement process for collapsible pallet boxes, identified as CSP25229, under a limited competition method. This process, facilitated by UK Shared Business Services Ltd, aimed to source goods in the 'Storage containers' category within the United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted below the threshold limit, and the contract award was made to WALTHER Faltsysteme GmbH, based in Germany. The contract, signed on 17 July 2025, covers a period from 24 July 2025 to 7 August 2025, with a total contract value of GBP 52,716 gross (GBP 43,930 net). The procurement process is now complete and was officially noted on 24 February 2026.

This tender presents business growth opportunities for companies producing efficient storage solutions. Given the focus on collapsible pallet boxes, businesses specialising in innovative storage container technologies would be best suited to engage in similar future procurement processes. Although the original process involved a limited competition, businesses capable of offering competitive loading capacities, akin to those provided by WALTHER Faltsysteme GmbH, would potentially be preferred candidates in similar tenders by UK Research and Innovation.
