Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured a new modular cleanroom as works, including cleanroom installation. The requirement was managed through UK Shared Business Services Ltd, acting as the procuring entity and shared service provider for UK Research and Innovation. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement relates to the provision and installation of a specialist controlled-environment facility rather than general building work. It is relevant to businesses that design, supply, install or deliver modular cleanroom systems, particularly those serving research, laboratory or other technically controlled environments. The requirement was treated as a single package, covering the complete modular cleanroom need for the buyer rather than separate published workstreams.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 31 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. MONMOUTH SCIENTIFIC LIMITED was awarded the contract for the cleanroom installation works. The contract value is £23,123 excluding VAT, or £26,547.60 including VAT. The procurement had one completed lot and one active award. The evaluation was conducted through a limited competition exercise; the available data does not set out separate quality, technical or price weightings. This was a contract details outcome, not an invitation for suppliers to submit bids, so the opportunity should be treated as a record of an awarded requirement rather than work available to pursue.

This award demonstrates that UK Research and Innovation buys complete modular cleanroom solutions through a below-threshold limited competition route, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd managing the procurement. Competitors seeking similar work should be able to provide and install modular cleanrooms as an integrated package, understand the requirements of controlled research or laboratory environments, and deliver specialist works within a defined implementation period. Credibility is likely to depend on practical cleanroom installation capability, reliable project coordination and the ability to work with a central-government research organisation and its shared-service procurement provider. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller business rather than only by a major construction contractor.
