## Summary

The procurement process conducted by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) involves the acquisition of 20ft shipping containers designated for the British Antarctic Survey. Classified under the 'goods' category, this procurement took place in Swindon, Wiltshire, but the delivery addresses include UKH12 region in the United Kingdom. The process concluded with a limited competition method and resulted in the award stage as of 27th March 2026. This contract carries a value of £89,916 gross, with a signed commencement date from 13th March 2026, extending potentially until 23rd December 2028. Boxtor Ltd was appointed as the supplier for this contract, which signals completion status with agreement on renewal terms extending for up to one additional calendar year.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for businesses involved in manufacturing and supply chain logistics, specifically the production and distribution of containers, to engage with UKRI and the British Antarctic Survey. Companies with capabilities in producing robust and specialised maritime equipment can benefit from such government-led procurement, fostering connection with central public authorities. Large-scale enterprises like Boxtor Ltd, which cater to niche transport solutions, are particularly well-suited to respond to similar tenders, leading to potential increased revenue streams and market presence within governmental contracts.
