## Summary

UK Research and Innovation procured cleanliness engineering services for its requirements, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The work falls within engineering services and is managed by UK Shared Business Services Ltd as the procuring entity and shared service provider. The requirement concerns cleanliness engineering rather than the supply of general cleaning services, so it is relevant to engineering consultancies and specialist technical providers able to address cleanliness-related engineering needs. The recorded buyer is UK Research and Innovation, a central government public authority. The selected supplier, OHB System AG, is based in Bremen, Germany. The procurement relates to one completed requirement and the contract covers services rather than goods or construction works.

The procurement has been concluded and awarded. UK Research and Innovation used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, on the stated basis that there were no reasonable alternatives to the required goods, services or work. OHB System AG received the award on 5 August 2026. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026, runs from 5 August 2026 to 10 August 2026, and is valued at £15,000 excluding VAT, or £18,000 including VAT. The tender and its single lot are recorded as complete, while the resulting contract is recorded as active. Evaluation was therefore not conducted through a competitive tender, and the published outcome identifies one supplier for the cleanliness engineering services.

This award shows a specific requirement for specialist cleanliness engineering services within UK Research and Innovation’s estate or programmes, delivered at a relatively small project scale and sourced through a direct, below-threshold route. A future competitor would need credible engineering capability focused on cleanliness requirements, rather than routine cleaning operations, and the ability to provide a defined technical service quickly. Relevant firms should be able to demonstrate experience delivering comparable engineering services for public-sector or research-related environments, with sufficient technical staff and quality controls to meet a tightly scoped requirement. OHB System AG’s selection indicates that an established, large engineering organisation was considered suitable, so smaller specialists would need clear evidence of equivalent expertise, delivery capacity and reliable contract performance.
