## Summary

This public procurement process involves the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) organisation, which awarded a contract for the rental and supply of liquid nitrogen tanks for the fiscal year 2026-27. The process falls under the industry category of public utilities, with the fulfilment location being in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is the award stage, and the contract was awarded to BOC Ltd with the starting and ending dates of the contract period being from 31st March 2026 to 30th March 2027, respectively. The procurement method utilised was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with the contract valued at £85,000 GBP.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in the supply and rental of liquid nitrogen tanks, especially those with experience in dealing with large-scale public utilities. However, it may be less suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) given UKRI's specific suitability criteria. Businesses looking to expand into public sector contracts, particularly those with the capability to deliver within the South East region, could find significant growth potential by engaging in similar tenders.
