## Summary

The procurement process undertaken by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) involves the supply and installation of the Trial Floor Section at Boulby Mine, Swindon, Wiltshire. The procurement, classified under the "works" industry category, aims to develop a new laboratory area by installing steel flooring, support structures, and related assemblies. This direct award was granted to Amalgamated Construction Ltd due to their unique authorization for geotechnical works at the mine. The contract, officially active from 16 March 2026, will extend until 31 August 2026, with the financial deal set at £275,843 excluding VAT.

This tender represents significant opportunities, particularly for large-scale construction businesses specialised in structural works. Companies with expertise in geotechnical and excavation services in regulated environments may find such projects advantageous for expanding their portfolios and demonstrating compliance expertise. Given Amalgamated Construction Ltd's role as the sole contractor authorised at Boulby Mine due to stringent safety and operational requirements, other businesses aiming to compete in similar contracts should establish strong niche capabilities and regulatory compliance to maximise growth potential in government contracts for specialised infrastructure projects.

This procurement covers the supply and installation of the Trial Floor Section within the new laboratory development area at Boulby Mine. The work includes the provision and installation of steel flooring, support piles and pile caps, primary and secondary beams, deck plates, the structural door bulkhead, cladding, and associated door assemblies
