UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured Dune frame components under requirement CSP26826, for use in a research and development setting. The purchase is categorised as goods, with the classification covering laboratory, optical and precision equipment other than glasses. The requirement concerns the physical components of a dune frame rather than a general laboratory equipment supply. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement as the shared service provider for UK Research and Innovation. Delivery is required in the United Kingdom. The procurement was arranged as a single completed lot, covering the full set of Dune frame components within this requirement.

This procurement has been awarded following a limited competition and is below the applicable threshold. The selected supplier is Triples Apparel Ltd trading as Oxton Engineering, an SME. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and is active, running from 7 September to 30 November 2026. Its value is £10,561.50 excluding VAT and £12,673.80 including VAT. The tender and its single lot are complete. The award covers the Dune frame components for the United Kingdom delivery requirement. The process used a limited competition procurement exercise rather than an open competition. The published outcome identifies one supplier for the completed requirement.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from UK Research and Innovation for engineered components used in a research and development setting, with the supply categorised alongside laboratory, optical and precision equipment. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would have practical capability in designing, manufacturing or supplying precision mechanical components, and experience interpreting a specific component specification rather than providing only standard catalogue goods. Credible competitors would also need the production control, quality assurance and delivery capacity to complete a small, single-lot component supply for a UK public-sector research buyer. The award to an SME indicates that specialist smaller engineering businesses can compete successfully for this type of requirement.
