Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), involves the award of a contract for specialist conservation and repair works on the historic 1894 Building in Edinburgh. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on repair and maintenance services of building installations. UKRI operates as a central government public authority with its procurement managed through the STFC Procurement team. As the award stage is active, GC Stonemasons Ltd has been appointed to carry out the stonework repairs through a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition. The contract, valued at £94,000, commenced on 11th March 2026 and is scheduled to conclude by 10th April 2026.
