UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation purchased new safety cabinets, classified as cabinets under CPV 39141300. The requirement is for goods rather than installation, construction or consultancy services. Delivery is required in the United Kingdom. UK Research and Innovation is the buying organisation, with procurement managed by UK Shared Business Services Ltd, its shared service provider. The procurement therefore concerns the supply of physical safety storage equipment to support UKRI’s operational or research activities. Businesses relevant to this requirement include manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of safety cabinets able to supply public-sector customers in the UK. The published requirement covers one completed procurement lot.

The procurement has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The tender is complete, and the contract was signed on 19 August 2026. The award is active and was made to Contained Air Solutions Limited, an SME. The contract runs from 20 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £36,979.60 excluding VAT, or £44,375.52 including VAT. The award covers the supply of safety cabinets for delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition exercise, but the available outcome does not state the individual scoring criteria or weightings. This contract details the completed purchasing outcome rather than inviting further competition.

This award demonstrates demand from UK Research and Innovation for specialist safety cabinets supplied through a below-threshold limited competition. It is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist resellers with a suitable cabinet range, reliable public-sector supply capability and the capacity to deliver across the United Kingdom. A future competitor would need to present a clear product fit for safety storage requirements, provide dependable fulfilment and respond effectively to a constrained competition route rather than relying on an open-market tender. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist business rather than only by a large national contractor. Relevant firms can use this procurement as a buyer-specific reference point for similar demand.
