Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation bought hose reel bunker station spares, classified under miscellaneous fabricated products and related items (CPV 44400000). The requirement is for physical goods used to maintain or support hose reel bunker stations. UK Research and Innovation is the buying organisation, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd acting as the procuring entity and shared services provider. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement covered one completed lot. The awarded supplier, Hose & Reel Products BV, is based in Schinnen, Netherlands, indicating that the requirement can be fulfilled by an overseas goods manufacturer or specialist distributor able to supply the relevant equipment spares for UK public-sector use.

This procurement has been awarded and completed as a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold. The buyer stated that competition was absent for technical reasons and that only a particular supplier could provide the required goods. Hose & Reel Products BV received the award for the single lot. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026 and runs from 20 August 2026 to 27 August 2026. Its value is EUR 19,879 gross. The award is active and the contract is active. The procedure was not evaluated through competing bids; the stated basis was technical exclusivity of supply. No separate award criteria or eligibility requirements are recorded.

This procurement signals demand for specialist replacement parts for hose reel bunker stations within UK Research and Innovation’s estate or operational activity. A credible future competitor would need to identify the exact equipment and spare parts required, demonstrate technical compatibility, and source or manufacture the products reliably. The buyer’s stated technical-reasons justification means product knowledge, proprietary or authorised supply arrangements, and evidence that alternatives cannot meet the requirement are commercially important. Suppliers should also be able to handle UK public-sector purchasing through the relevant shared-services route and deliver goods in the United Kingdom. The successful supplier is an SME based in the Netherlands, showing that specialist smaller overseas businesses can serve this requirement.
