UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation, through the Medical Research Council, procured the design, supply and installation of an external, free-mounted LED illuminated sign. The sign is to be installed above the Laboratory of Molecular Biology’s lecture theatre roof, facing the front of the main building. This is a combined signage and installation requirement, involving the design of the sign, manufacture or supply of the LED display, and fitting it in an external, elevated position. The associated classification describes graphic design services. The buyer is UKRI, a central government public authority, and the work is associated with the Laboratory of Molecular Biology site in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and one supplier was selected through a below-threshold limited competition. Model Signage Ltd was awarded the single lot. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and runs from 27 July 2026 to 30 March 2027. Its value is £68,544.58 excluding VAT, or £82,253.50 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition. The requirement was evaluated through that limited competition; the published information does not set out separate quality, technical or price weightings. UKRI is the contracting authority and Model Signage Ltd is the appointed supplier.

This procurement indicates demand from UKRI for a supplier able to take responsibility for a complete external illuminated-signage package, rather than supplying a standalone product. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need practical graphic-design capability, experience developing signage to an institutional client’s brief, and the ability to source or manufacture LED illuminated signs. It would also need competent installation resources for fitting a substantial sign above a building roof, with suitable planning for access, lifting, electrical connection, weather exposure and safe working at height. The limited-competition route favours suppliers able to respond efficiently to a defined brief and demonstrate reliable delivery across design, supply, installation and site coordination.
