UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured a hydrogen moderator as a goods requirement. The item is classified as laboratory, optical and precision equipment, excluding glasses, indicating a specialist physical product rather than a general consultancy or works service. Delivery is within the United Kingdom. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement for UK Research and Innovation and acted as the shared services provider. The requirement was handled as a single-lot procurement. It will be of interest to manufacturers, specialist engineering firms and suppliers of hydrogen-related laboratory or precision equipment. Businesses serving UK public research organisations may also recognise the buyer and operating context as relevant to their market.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. FIELDHOUSE ENGINEERING LTD was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and runs from 28 August 2026 to 28 February 2027. Its value is £45,500 excluding VAT, or £54,600 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement used a limited procedure and comprised one completed lot. The available outcome information identifies the successful supplier and contract value; it does not set out separate evaluation weightings or selection thresholds. This is a contract-details outcome, not a new competition.

This award shows UK Research and Innovation buying a specialist hydrogen moderator through a below-threshold limited competition, with delivery of a precision laboratory product. Competitors seeking similar work would need credible capability to design, manufacture or supply hydrogen-related equipment that meets research and laboratory-use requirements. Engineering businesses, specialist equipment manufacturers and precision technology suppliers are the closest fit. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this type of requirement can be delivered by an SME rather than only by a large corporate supplier. Relevant businesses should be able to demonstrate technical competence, dependable product quality, controlled delivery and experience supporting public-sector or research environments when the requirement next returns to market.
