UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) commissioned refurbishment works for one of the British Antarctic Survey’s on-site laboratories. The requirement covers the refurbishment and overhaul of laboratory facilities, including the associated works needed to bring the laboratory into the required condition for continued use. The buyer is UKRI, a central government research organisation, and the end user is the British Antarctic Survey. The work is therefore suited to businesses delivering laboratory refurbishment, fit-out, overhaul or related building works in an operational research environment. The published classification identifies refurbishment work and overhaul and refurbishment work (CPV 45453100). Delivery is at the British Antarctic Survey’s on-site laboratory; the procurement does not identify a wider delivery area or multiple locations.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It was divided into one lot. UKRI awarded the contract to LSG Anglia Ltd trading as Lab Fit, a small or medium-sized enterprise. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026 and runs from 21 August 2026 to 12 February 2027. Its value is £91,946.22 excluding VAT, or £110,335.46 including VAT. The award covers the laboratory refurbishment works. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition. The available outcome confirms the selected supplier and contract value; it does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or named evaluation criteria.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from UKRI and the British Antarctic Survey for specialist refurbishment of an operational laboratory, rather than general construction alone. Businesses best placed for comparable future requirements would be able to plan and deliver laboratory refurbishment or overhaul works, coordinate work within an active research setting, and manage the practical requirements of taking an existing laboratory through refurbishment. The appointed supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist contractor rather than only a major national firm. Relevant competitors should be able to evidence completed refurbishment projects, reliable project management, suitable trades and subcontractor control, and the capacity to deliver a single, self-contained laboratory works package for a public research organisation.
