## Summary

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), located in Swindon, Wiltshire, oversees this public procurement process for supplying gases under the LUPC Framework LAB4060 SU. The contract, UKRI-5867, is for the 2026-2027 period and focuses on the industry category of gases. This tender targets the delivery of these goods to the British Geological Survey in Nottingham. Initiated without prior publication due to its classification as falling outside typical directive scopes, it was undertaken using a limited procurement method. The award stage concluded on 5th March 2026 with BOC Ltd named as the supplier, after signing the contract valued at £81,500 on 26th February 2026.

The tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in gas supply, particularly those that can ensure consistent and reliable delivery at competitive pricing. BOC Ltd, a large-scale enterprise, secured the contract, indicating that similar companies with a robust supply chain might find themselves well suited for such opportunities. Moreover, businesses within the UK that are keen to partner with public research bodies and contribute to scientific work would find this sector advantageous. The procurement method specifics suggest a potential edge for companies that are already well integrated into frameworks like LUPC, allowing them to capitalise on call-off opportunities.
