Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured the supply of PPL Material Foil for APA, classified as foil and supplied as a physical good. The requirement covers delivery to UKRI in the United Kingdom. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement as UKRI’s shared service provider. The contracting organisation is UKRI, a central government public authority. The procurement concerned one completed requirement rather than multiple separately described work packages. It is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist packaging suppliers able to provide the required foil material and arrange delivery within the United Kingdom. The named requirement is CSP26707 – Foil for APA.

This was a below-threshold limited competition and the procurement is complete; it was not a call for competition. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and runs from 6 August to 30 November 2026. The awarded supplier is PROTECTIVE PACKAGING LIMITED, with a contract value of £11,105.96 excluding VAT and £13,327.15 including VAT. The award is active and relates to the single completed lot. The contracting process used a limited procurement method. The available outcome records the selected supplier and contract values; the procurement information does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or scoring basis.

This award demonstrates a specific requirement for PPL Material Foil for APA from UK Research and Innovation, with delivery across the United Kingdom. Suppliers best placed for comparable work would have reliable access to the required foil material, suitable packaging or materials-supply operations, and the ability to fulfil and deliver orders to a public-sector buyer. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that a business of specialist or medium scale can satisfy this type of requirement. Competitors should be able to evidence dependable product supply, consistent quality, responsive fulfilment and experience handling formal public-sector purchasing processes through a limited competition route.
