UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) renewed storage space for a service it was already using. The purchase is for storage units, within the goods category. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement on UKRI’s behalf. The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom; no more specific destination is identified. The requirement concerns continued access to storage space rather than a newly described storage service or a wider facilities package. This gives storage-unit suppliers a clear indication of the type of requirement UKRI has bought, although the published scope does not describe unit sizes, quantities, storage conditions or specific sites.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. UKRI awarded the contract to BizSpace Limited through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, because it was a renewal of a service already in use. The contract was signed on 15 October 2026 and runs from 31 October 2026 to 1 January 2027. Its value is £24,610 excluding VAT and £29,532 including VAT. The process was not divided into separately described lots in the award outcome. No competitive evaluation or scored award criteria are recorded; the stated basis for proceeding was the renewal of the existing service.

For suppliers of storage units or storage space, this award is evidence that UKRI has an ongoing requirement for storage and has renewed an existing arrangement. BizSpace Limited, identified as an SME, secured the contract through continuity with a service already in use, rather than a competed evaluation. A credible future supplier would therefore need to offer storage capacity suited to UKRI’s operational needs and demonstrate reliable delivery of an established service. The scale is a relatively contained, short-term storage requirement, not a large multi-lot programme. The procurement does not describe particular accreditations, technical standards, specialist storage conditions or other qualifications, so the clearest commercial signal is the buyer’s demand for continued storage provision and the advantage of meeting its service requirements.
