## Summary

The procurement process initiated by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) pertains to the maintenance, reactive, remedial, and project works for cranes, detailed under project title "UKRI 5511". This is a service contract identified under the CPV code 50531400 for the repair and maintenance of cranes, with activities across different stages from planning to tender cancellation. The buying organisation, located in Swindon, Wiltshire, had a tender with a process following the open procedure method, initially planned to conclude its tender period by 16th April 2026 and the award period by 30th April 2026. However, the process was later cancelled on 25th June 2026 following an internal review. Despite this, previous engagements like supplier site visits scheduled for 13th February 2026 highlight an active procurement planning phase.

This tender presented significant opportunities for businesses involved in OEM crane maintenance services, especially those capable of providing comprehensive service packages that include both reactive and preventative maintenance. The initial procurement plan outlined opportunities for businesses to enhance their portfolios by engaging with UKRI, a central government body, potentially leading to a contract with a gross value of £374,400 over a flexible period with renewal options available. Companies with a strong adherence to quality and competitive pricing were particularly well-suited, with evaluation criteria giving high weightage to quality (70%) over price (30%). Despite the cancellation, the groundwork indicates potential re-tendering, suggesting that businesses should prepare for possible re-engagement rounds focused on refined contract specifications.
