Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation commissioned a custom-designed 3-metre by 3-metre aluminium cleanroom. The requirement is classified as works, specifically cleanroom installation works. UK Research and Innovation is the buying organisation, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd acting as the procuring entity and shared service provider. The contracting organisations are based in Swindon, but the procurement data does not identify the cleanroom’s installation site. The requirement concerns a complete, purpose-designed aluminium cleanroom rather than a general building or facilities-management service. It is therefore relevant to businesses that design, manufacture and install cleanroom structures, particularly those able to deliver bespoke aluminium solutions and coordinate the associated installation works for a public-sector research organisation.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It followed a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 19 August 2026, awarded on 20 August 2026, and runs from 20 August to 30 September 2026. The award went to Monmouth Scientific Limited for the single lot. The contract value is £13,127 excluding VAT, or £15,752.40 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome describes the requirement as a custom-designed 3-metre by 3-metre aluminium cleanroom and classifies the work as cleanroom installation. The available information identifies the procurement route as limited competition but does not set out separate technical, quality or price weightings.

This procurement indicates a defined requirement within UK Research and Innovation for a small, bespoke aluminium cleanroom delivered through a below-threshold limited competition. Businesses considering similar work for this buyer would need credible capability in cleanroom design, aluminium fabrication and installation, with the capacity to deliver a complete custom solution within a short project period. Relevant experience should include translating a specified footprint and operational requirement into a suitable cleanroom structure, managing manufacture and site installation, and coordinating delivery with a research organisation. The awarded supplier was an SME, showing that this type of requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller business rather than only by a large construction contractor. Future competitors should monitor this buyer’s cleanroom and specialist laboratory infrastructure needs.
