## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by UK Shared Business Services Limited, involved the award of a contract titled "UKRI - RE19086 - Cooling and Vacuum." This contract pertains to the supply of cooling and vacuum equipment for the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, classified under the laboratory, optical and precision equipment industry. Although the tender period concluded on 5th March 2019, the contract was awarded on the same day and is set to run from 7th March 2019 to 6th March 2020. The procurement method employed was a direct approach through a single tender action, given that the contract value of £29,856.64 falls below the threshold for additional competition.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the laboratory equipment and cooling sector, particularly those specialising in cooling and ventilation technologies. Companies capable of supplying high-quality laboratory equipment that meet the specified needs of large organisations like the Science & Technology Facilities Council would be best positioned to compete.
