UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation bought thorough examination and testing services for 49 CLII ducted safety cabinets. The work is technical inspection and testing of laboratory or specialist safety cabinets, covering the buyer’s requirement for examination and testing rather than supply, installation or replacement equipment. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement as the shared services provider. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The requirement was for a single service package, relating to all 49 cabinets. It may suit businesses that inspect, test, maintain or certify ducted safety cabinets and have the technical capability to assess CLII equipment in operational settings. The buyer is a central government public authority headquartered in Swindon, so suppliers familiar with public-sector compliance and service delivery may find the purchasing pattern relevant.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It followed a below-threshold limited competition. Walker Safety Cabinets Limited was selected for the single lot. The award was made on 3 September 2026, and the contract was signed on 1 September 2026. The contract runs from 3 September 2026 to 23 October 2026. Its value is £31,500 excluding VAT and £37,800 including VAT. The award covers the technical inspection and testing service for the 49 CLII ducted safety cabinets. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition exercise, but the published details do not set out the individual evaluation criteria or weightings. The contract is active and the award remains active.

For a supplier that did not win this requirement, the award shows a defined demand from UK Research and Innovation for specialist examination and testing of a substantial group of CLII ducted safety cabinets within a short service window. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable technical competence in safety-cabinet inspection and testing, sufficient qualified personnel and equipment to handle multiple cabinets for a public-sector customer, and the operational capacity to deliver consistently across the required UK locations. Experience of documenting test results, identifying defects and producing clear compliance records would strengthen a future offer where these activities form part of the service. The route also indicates that buyers may use below-threshold limited competitions for this type of specialist maintenance-related service.
