UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a central government public authority based in Swindon, Wiltshire, has completed a direct award procurement for marine survey services under the tender titled "UKRI-6123 Lloyds Register Block Survey Fee 5 Years 2026 to 2031." This procurement process, focusing on the services category, involves a contract period starting on 1st July 2026 and ending on 30th June 2031. The contract, valued at £190,000, is awarded to Lloyd's Register EMEA, a large supplier based in London. The tender was conducted as a direct award due to specific technical reasons and the necessity for additional delivery capabilities, with the award notice published on 12th June 2026. The procurement process is in the 'Award' stage, with the standstill period concluding on 24th June 2026.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses within the marine survey sector, especially those capable of providing specialised technical services and additional delivery competencies. While the direct award nature limits competitive bidding, it underscores the demand for firms possessing unique technical abilities, which could encourage businesses to enhance their expertise in niche technical areas. Large-scale operators similar to Lloyd's Register EMEA, with the capability to meet stringent procurement requirements, are well-positioned to benefit from such public procurement opportunities in the UK market.
