Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured building repair and exterior painting services for a nitrogen plant shed. The work covered repairing the shed and painting its exterior, with associated repair and maintenance of building installations. It was a services requirement rather than a supply of materials or a construction project. UKRI was the buying organisation, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd managing the procurement. Delivery was in the United Kingdom. The requirement was treated as one complete package, covering both the repair and painting activities. It is relevant to contractors providing industrial building maintenance, external building painting, repair of plant or utility structures, or related facilities management services.

The procurement has been completed and the contract awarded following a below-threshold limited competition using a competitive quotation procedure. One supplier, Federico Brito García, was selected for the single package. The contract was signed on 17 August 2026 and runs from 18 August 2026 to 16 October 2026. Its value is EUR 14,029.84, inclusive of any applicable tax as reported. The contract is active, while the tender itself is complete. Evaluation followed the competitive quotation exercise; the published information identifies the requirement as building painting and building-installation repair and maintenance services. This was not an open call for competition.

This procurement provides a clear example of UKRI’s demand for small-scale industrial facilities maintenance combining structural repair with exterior painting. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need practical experience repairing and repainting plant buildings or other specialist utility structures, with the ability to manage preparation, remedial works and durable external finishes as one service. The awarded supplier was identified as an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist contractor can meet this type of requirement. Relevant businesses should be able to demonstrate competent operatives, safe working practices, suitable access and surface-preparation equipment, and reliable delivery of short, self-contained maintenance projects for a public research organisation.
