## Summary

On 18th March 2026, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), a central government public authority based in Swindon, concluded a procurement process for supplying bulk lead shot for radiation shielding purposes. The procurement was managed by UK Shared Business Services Ltd and conducted through a limited competition method. This process began with a tender and culminated in awarding a contract with a gross value of £56,004 to CALDER INDUSTRIAL MATERIALS LIMITED. This procurement falls under the category of sports goods and equipment, offering opportunities primarily to businesses involved with sporting goods and materials used for radiation shielding. The contract spans from 17th March 2026 to 31st August 2026.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in goods for sports, particularly those capable of producing or supplying lead-based products. CALDER INDUSTRIAL MATERIALS LIMITED, an SME based in Chester, successfully secured the contract by demonstrating compliance with strict requirements like providing Certificates of Conformity and Analysis. Companies that can provide competitively priced products and quality assurance will find this procurement model advantageous. It highlights the importance of meeting specific technical standards in limited competition tenders, enabling SME businesses to capture niche markets within governmental contracts.
