## Summary

The UK Shared Business Services Limited (UK SBS) is managing the procurement process for the project titled "UK SBS FM17096 Containers," which falls under the goods category for large containers. The procurement is located in Swindon, England, and is currently at the award stage, with the awarded contract reaching a value of approximately £715,826.56. The contract was officially awarded on 10th November 2017, following a bidding deadline which occurred on 6th October 2017. This initiative is being carried out in compliance with the Public Contract Regulations 2015 and allows potential providers to tender for several specific lots.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), looking to expand their portfolios in goods manufacturing and supply. Companies with expertise in container production and specifications outlined in the tender documentation—specifically, those capable of delivering radionuclide, ultraclean, seismic compressor, and temperature-controlled aquarium laboratory containers—are particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this process could facilitate growth and help establish long-term relationships with a key governmental service provider.
