Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) purchased an OD unit box, classified as a generator unit. This is a goods requirement managed by UK Shared Business Services Ltd on UKRI’s behalf. The item was for delivery in the United Kingdom. The description identifies the required equipment only as an “OD Unit Box”; it does not explain its technical specification or intended operational use. The procurement was a single-lot purchase, rather than a broader package of goods or services. UKRI is the buying organisation, while UK Shared Business Services Ltd acted as the procuring entity. The selected supplier, OIZURU Co., Ltd., is based in Mizuhomachi, Tokyo, Japan.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to OIZURU Co., Ltd. following a below-threshold limited competition. The single lot was completed, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 22 September 2026 and runs from 23 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its gross value is JPY 3,287,000. The published procurement information does not set out the award scoring or evaluation criteria, nor does it describe eligibility requirements. The purchase was treated as below the relevant threshold. This outcome records the selected supplier, contract value and delivery period for the OD unit box; it does not establish a wider contract covering other generator equipment or associated services.

For suppliers monitoring UKRI’s equipment requirements, this award shows demand for an OD unit box procured through a limited competition, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd managing the process. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to supply the specified generator unit and demonstrate that it can meet UKRI’s technical and delivery needs. The award went to OIZURU Co., Ltd., a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement was met by an SME supplier. The published scope is narrow: it identifies the equipment as an OD unit box but does not set out its specification, installation, maintenance or other service obligations. Suppliers with relevant generator-unit supply capability would therefore be the closest fit; broader service or unrelated equipment expertise is not evidenced as relevant.
