Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured compact mount frames for pitch and yaw applications, including stiffener and optic bezel plate components. This is a goods requirement for parts and accessories of machine tools, associated with CPV 42670000. The equipment is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement for UK Research and Innovation, which is the buying organisation. The requirement concerns the supply of physical engineered components rather than installation, consultancy or ongoing services. It is therefore relevant to manufacturers, precision engineering businesses, machine-tool component suppliers and distributors able to provide compact mounting frames and the specified stiffener and optic bezel plate configuration.

The procurement has been completed following a below-threshold limited competition. It used one lot, which is complete, and the contract was awarded to Endeavor Engineering Ltd. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and runs from 4 September 2026 to 30 November 2026. Its value is £12,144 excluding VAT, or £14,572.80 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The available outcome information records the selected supplier and the contract value and period. The process was not an open tender: it was a limited competition exercise, so future suppliers considering comparable UKRI requirements should monitor opportunities using this route and assess the relevant procurement documents when a similar requirement arises.

This award demonstrates a specific requirement for compact pitch-and-yaw mounting frames with stiffeners and optic bezel plates, supplied as engineered machine-tool parts. Businesses best placed for a comparable requirement would be able to manufacture or source these components reliably, maintain suitable precision-engineering and quality-control capability, and supply assemblies or component sets matching the buyer’s technical specification. Endeavor Engineering Ltd, identified as an SME, was selected through a below-threshold limited competition, showing that the requirement can suit a focused engineering supplier rather than only a large prime contractor. Relevant competitors should be able to evidence experience with engineered mechanical components, dependable production capacity, consistent quality and delivery into the UKRI supply chain.
