Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured an OMDL-33 HRPD-x support stand, classified as miscellaneous spare parts. The requirement is for the supply of a specialist support stand, rather than a service or construction project. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement on behalf of UK Research and Innovation as the shared service provider. The selected supplier, Nortemecánica, is based in Carreño, Spain. This opportunity is therefore relevant to businesses that manufacture, engineer, distribute or supply specialist mechanical support equipment and associated spare parts for UK public-sector research or technical operations.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Nortemecánica. The award was made on 4 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 5 August 2026 to 14 September 2026. Its value is £43,120 gross. The contract covers the OMDL-33 HRPD-x Support Stand and delivery in the United Kingdom. UK Research and Innovation is the buyer, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd acting as the procuring entity. The procurement used a limited procedure rather than an open competition, and Nortemecánica is the appointed supplier.

For a supplier that did not win, this procurement provides a clear indication of UK Research and Innovation’s demand for specialist support stands and related mechanical spare parts. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to manufacture or source the required equipment, interpret a defined technical requirement, maintain suitable quality and production controls, and deliver reliably to the United Kingdom. The successful supplier is an SME based in Spain, indicating that the requirement was accessible to a specialist international business rather than limited to a large UK contractor. Relevant experience in engineered support equipment, technical fabrication or industrial spare-parts supply would strengthen a future response.
