Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation has successfully concluded the procurement process for a leak detector service plan, with the contract awarded to Leybold UK Ltd. The procurement, managed by UK Shared Business Services Ltd, was carried out via a direct method due to a lack of competition for technical reasons, and it falls below the competitive threshold. The contract, valued at £25,619.98 gross, started on 1st July 2026 and will run until 31st July 2029. This project is categorised under repair and maintenance services and is to be executed within the United Kingdom, primarily serviced through Leybold's operations in Chessington.

This procurement presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in the repair and maintenance sector, particularly those capable of delivering niche technical services. SMEs like Leybold UK Ltd, which can provide exclusive technical solutions, are ideal contenders for similar direct procurement opportunities. This contract exemplifies the importance of specialised service offerings in securing government contracts, and businesses with expertise in technical maintenance and repair services should consider enhancing their capabilities to meet such specific requirements.
