UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured services for the installation, testing and commissioning of a laboratory local exhaust ventilation (LEV) system. The requirement covers specialist ventilation work associated with laboratory environments, including inspection and maintenance of ventilation systems. UKRI is the buying organisation, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd managing the procurement. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as services and relates to repair and maintenance services and ventilation-system inspection. The requirement was treated as a single service package rather than separate deliverables, covering the complete LEV installation, testing and commissioning activity. It is relevant to businesses that design, install, test, commission or maintain laboratory ventilation and associated LEV systems for public-sector or research organisations.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition and competitive quotation procedure. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and awarded to Labcom Ltd on 17 August 2026. The contract runs from 17 August 2026 to 30 November 2026. Its value is £49,770.12 excluding VAT and £59,724.14 including VAT. The contract is active and the award covers the single lot for the full laboratory LEV requirement. The process was managed as a limited competition rather than an open tender, so the opportunity was not a general invitation to the market. The recorded procurement category is services, with evaluation conducted through competitive quotations.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist laboratory LEV installation, testing and commissioning within UKRI’s research estate. A credible future competitor would need practical capability across the full service lifecycle, from installing or modifying laboratory local exhaust ventilation through to testing and commissioning it for operational use. Experience inspecting and maintaining ventilation systems would also be relevant, since the requirement included those service characteristics. Suppliers should be able to manage a complete single-package assignment for a public research organisation, coordinate technical delivery, and provide evidence that their ventilation work is reliable, compliant with the required specification and suitable for laboratory environments. Labcom Ltd is recorded as an SME supplier.
