UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) bought a smart locker system to securely store, recharge and manage dosimeters and RFID tags. This is a specialist equipment supply requirement supporting the handling and management of radiation-measurement devices and identification tags. The procurement was managed by UK Shared Business Services Ltd, UKRI’s shared service provider. The award covers one lot, with delivery recorded for the United Kingdom; no more precise delivery location is stated. The equipment is classified in the laboratory, optical and precision equipment category. Suppliers whose products combine secure storage with charging and system management for dosimeters and RFID tags operate closest to the requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to iLockerz Ltd. UKRI used a below-threshold limited competition. The single lot was awarded, and the contract is active. The award value is not separately stated; the contract value is £12,461.80 excluding VAT and £14,954.16 including VAT. The contract was signed on 13 October 2026 and runs from 13 October 2026 to 13 January 2027. The purchase was evaluated through the limited competition, but the published data does not set out the award criteria or their weighting. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the process on UKRI’s behalf.

For suppliers seeking to compete when UKRI next buys this specific requirement, the award demonstrates demand for a compact, specialist equipment solution rather than a broad laboratory supply. A credible offer would need to secure dosimeters and RFID tags, recharge them where required, and provide a workable way to manage both. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that this requirement was met by a smaller business; the recorded contract is modest in scale and short in duration. Relevant suppliers are those able to supply an integrated smart-locker system for these devices and support UKRI’s operational need for secure storage and management. The limited-competition route was used, so experience and capability to deliver the defined equipment requirement would be central to competing effectively.
