## Summary

The procurement process conducted by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) focuses on fire stopping services required at the STFC Daresbury site in the United Kingdom, specifically necessitated by critical fire compliance issues. The procurement was conducted through a direct award process, purposefully selecting Rhodar Industrial Services Ltd to address unique technical needs and time constraints. This award, dated 16th June 2025, includes a contract period from 27th June to 27th September 2025. This falls under the 'works' industry category with fire-prevention installation works being the central task. Planned contracts were initiated under legal basis UKPGA 2023/54, stemming from previously scheduled milestones.

The tender offers significant growth potential for businesses specialising in fire and safety compliance solutions, particularly those adept in innovative fire-rated systems. Firms equipped with unique technical capabilities and those offering fast-paced, specialist compliance services would have been strategically positioned to thrive in opportunities like this procurement. Large-scale enterprises, similar in scope and capability to Rhodar, which can offer bespoke solutions with precise execution under time constraints, would be advantageous in engaging with such contracts.

### Procurement Information

This procurement is justified as a direct award to Rhodar Ltd due to the unique technical and operational requirements of the project, combined with a critical time constraint. Competing the work would risk unacceptable delays, cost increases, and reputational harm to UKRI. Rhodar is the only supplier able to deliver the bespoke 12m fire-rated wall (fire stopping service) due to access constraints and the specialist design already approved.
