## Summary

The procurement process conducted by UK Research and Innovation, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd as the procuring entity, involved a limited procurement method for the provision of Freia Steel 22-08 wall panel assemblies. Located in Swindon, with the contract associated with Swindon-specific postal areas, this process was concluded with an active award to WEC GROUP LIMITED, a large-scale supplier based in Darwen. The contract, identified as CSP25459, falls under the laboratory, optical and precision equipment category. The procurement was not a call for competition, and the associated contract runs from 16th October 2025 to 30th January 2026, with a gross value of £28,351.22. The details of the contract were published on 22nd October 2025.

This contract offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in manufacturing and supply of laboratory and precision equipment, particularly those capable of operating within limited competition frameworks. Companies with experience in providing goods to public authorities, specifically central government bodies like UKRI, would be well-positioned to undertake similar projects in the future. The specificity of the contract items, including assembly and painting of wall panels, suggests a potential entry point for firms offering niche manufacturing and assembly services. The successful delivery of such contracts could open doors to further governmental procurement opportunities, enhancing business credibility and fostering new partnerships.
