UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation required shelter replacement equipment, specifically shelter parts, for delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement was for goods rather than services or construction works. UKRI was the buying organisation, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd managing the procurement process as its shared service provider. The requirement relates to replacing equipment used in shelters, so relevant businesses are manufacturers, distributors or specialist suppliers of shelter components and replacement parts. The scope recorded for the award is limited to shelter parts under CPV 44112110. The contract covers supply to UKRI, with the delivery location recorded as the United Kingdom. A supplier was selected for the requirement, and the procurement has reached completion.

This was a completed below-threshold direct award without competition, on the stated grounds that technical reasons meant only one particular supplier could provide the required goods and that no reasonable alternatives existed. Weatherhaven Global Solutions Limited was awarded the single lot on 24 August 2026. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026, runs from 25 August to 13 November 2026, and is active. Its value is £22,368 excluding VAT, or £26,841.60 including VAT. The award was made on the basis of technical exclusivity rather than a competitive evaluation. The tender was recorded as complete, and the procurement was not a call for competition.

This procurement indicates a requirement for specialist shelter replacement equipment that the buyer considered technically exclusive to a particular supplier. Businesses seeking comparable work would need to demonstrate that they manufacture or can reliably supply shelter parts matching UKRI’s technical requirements, with suitable replacement compatibility and product availability. The selected supplier was Weatherhaven Global Solutions Limited, an SME, showing that a smaller specialist business can be appointed for this type of goods requirement. Credibility for a future requirement would depend on proprietary or technically distinctive shelter components, a clear ability to supply the specified equipment, and experience supporting replacement needs for an organisation operating in the UK. The buyer’s use of a direct route also makes technical differentiation central to competitiveness.
