UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation commissioned courtyard and service-yard works at its facilities to level the R26 service yard and reduce the risk of Dewars toppling over. The requirement is site-development and groundworks rather than goods or routine services. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement as the shared service provider, for UK Research and Innovation. The delivery location is in the United Kingdom; the buyer is based in Swindon. The work was arranged as a single requirement covering the R26 courtyard works. The scope is focused on preparing and levelling an operational yard, so relevant businesses are those able to carry out small-scale civil engineering, earthworks, groundworks and site-development activity in a live public-sector or research-estate environment.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It followed a below-threshold limited competition rather than an open competition. DH Building Services (Oxford) Limited, an SME based in Witney, was selected for the works. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026 and runs from 17 September to 14 December 2026. Its value is £23,150 excluding VAT, or £27,780 including VAT. The procurement covered one lot, which is complete, and the resulting contract is active. The award covers the site-development works needed for the R26 service-yard levelling and associated risk reduction. The published outcome records the selected supplier and contract terms, but does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or scoring basis.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need practical capability in site development, groundworks and levelling of service yards or courtyards. The work indicates a need to alter an existing operational surface to address a specific safety risk, so suppliers should be able to plan and carry out controlled earthworks with attention to site conditions, access, protection of surrounding operations and safe completion. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that the scale and delivery model can suit a focused building-services or civil-engineering contractor rather than only a large national firm. Businesses with relevant yard, depot, estate or research-site experience would be well placed to demonstrate a close match when this buyer next requires similar works.
