UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation bought PIP-II C-clamps, identified as requirement OMDL-113. These are precision-engineered clamping components for the PIP-II project; the procurement is categorised as laboratory, optical and precision equipment. The buying organisation is UK Research and Innovation, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd managing the procurement. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The requirement is a goods purchase rather than a service or works contract, and concerns one lot. The available description identifies the item as PIP-II C-clamps but does not elaborate on their technical specification or intended installation; the named project and product therefore define the scope that a potential supplier should use when assessing its fit.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It followed a limited competition, described as a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier, EGKenn Vacuum Technology SP. Z O. O., was awarded the contract. The contract was signed on 20 October 2026 and runs from 20 October 2026 to 20 March 2027. Its value is £42,204. The process was divided into one lot, which is complete. The available procurement data does not state a separate award date or an evaluation formula, so the confirmed outcome is the supplier and contract award rather than the specific scoring or selection basis. UK Research and Innovation is the buyer; UK Shared Business Services Ltd conducted the procurement.

For suppliers of precision-engineered clamps and related laboratory or project equipment, this award demonstrates demand from UK Research and Innovation for PIP-II C-clamps, procured through a limited competition. The selected supplier is a Polish SME, showing that a smaller overseas specialist was capable of winning this requirement. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to supply the specified clamp equipment and meet the buyer’s project needs, delivery arrangements and procurement requirements. The contract is a focused, single-lot goods purchase rather than a broad service or works package. Suppliers with relevant product capability and the capacity to fulfil a discrete order of this scale are the closest fit; the award gives a concrete example of the type of precision equipment this buyer has sourced.
