UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation commissioned construction works for laboratories 10–12, described as small works including strip-out. The requirement falls within the works category and is classified under CPV 45000000, construction work. The work is associated with UK Research and Innovation’s estate and is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. UK Research and Innovation is the buying organisation. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement as the shared service provider and process contact point. The requirement concerns physical building works rather than consultancy, supplies or routine facilities management, so it is most relevant to contractors experienced in laboratory alteration, internal strip-out and associated construction activity.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot. CPS Building Services Ltd was selected, with an award recorded as active. The award date and contract signing date were 23 July 2026. The active contract runs from 23 July 2026 to 23 January 2027. Its value is £20,878.50 excluding VAT and £25,054.20 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition exercise, rather than an open procedure. This is a contract details outcome, not a call for competition: the supplier has already been selected and the contract is active. The awarded work covers the laboratory construction requirement and relates to the single lot.

This procurement is evidence that UK Research and Innovation buys specialist building work for laboratory spaces, including strip-out and small-scale alterations. Competitors targeting similar requirements would need a construction operation able to plan and deliver controlled internal works in a research or laboratory environment, with sufficient site management, trades and health-and-safety controls for an occupied or operational estate where relevant. The successful supplier was a large construction business, indicating that the buyer accepted a contractor with established organisational capacity for this requirement. A credible future competitor would also need to understand below-threshold limited competitions, respond clearly to the buyer’s requirements and demonstrate practical experience of comparable laboratory refurbishment or strip-out work.
