## Summary

UK Research and Innovation procured container transportation services, managed through UK Shared Business Services Ltd. The requirement covered the transportation of a container for delivery in the United Kingdom. It was classified as a transport service rather than a supply of goods or construction work. The procurement was a single-service requirement and was concluded for UK Research and Innovation. The selected supplier, SEAFAST LOGISTICS LIMITED, is a small or medium-sized enterprise based at Felixstowe Mega Distribution Centre in Felixstowe. The work therefore suits logistics businesses able to arrange and deliver container transport within the UK, particularly those with relevant freight-handling operations and access to suitable distribution infrastructure.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. UK Research and Innovation used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, because it considered that only one supplier could provide the requirement for technical reasons. SEAFAST LOGISTICS LIMITED received the award for the container transportation service. The contract was signed on 8 June 2026 and runs from 8 June 2026 to 30 August 2026. Its value is £10,309.74 including tax. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation was therefore based on the direct-award justification rather than a competitive tender process. The procurement was conducted under the UK Public Procurement Act 2023.

This award indicates demand from UK Research and Innovation for short-term container transportation delivered through a direct-award route. A future competitor would need to show that it can provide reliable UK container transport and explain why its service meets the buyer’s technical requirement. Relevant logistics capability, operational control of container movements and suitable distribution arrangements would be important when demonstrating credibility. The incumbent is an SME based at Felixstowe Mega Distribution Centre, so businesses of similar scale and freight-logistics profile may be well placed to assess the requirement. Because the original procurement relied on a technical-reasons justification and no competition, a prospective supplier would also need clear evidence of distinctive technical capability or a materially equivalent service.
