## Summary

UK Research and Innovation procured replacement fire-suppression extinguishers for fume cupboards. The requirement covers the goods needed to replace extinguishers associated with fume-cupboard fire-suppression systems, classified as fire-suppression systems (CPV 35111500). The buyer is UK Research and Innovation, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd managing the procurement process as its shared services provider. Delivery is required in the United Kingdom. This is a focused laboratory and research-estate equipment requirement rather than a general fire-safety contract: relevant businesses are those supplying compatible fume-cupboard fire-suppression extinguishers or specialist replacement components, with the technical knowledge to ensure that replacement equipment integrates with the existing protection systems and is suitable for use in research environments.

The procurement was concluded and awarded directly without competition because the buyer considered that only a particular supplier could provide the goods for technical reasons. It was below threshold and used a direct procurement method. The contract was awarded to FUMAIR LIMITED on 13 August 2026. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and runs from 13 August 2026 to 28 August 2026. Its value is £10,371 excluding VAT, or £12,445.20 including VAT. The tender is complete and the award and contract are active. The procurement comprised one completed lot. The stated basis for proceeding without competition was an absence of competition for technical reasons, rather than a competitive evaluation of multiple bids.

This award indicates a defined requirement for specialist replacement fire-suppression equipment serving fume cupboards within UK Research and Innovation’s estate. Businesses considering comparable work for this buyer would need to demonstrate that they can supply technically compatible extinguishers or replacement equipment, understand the interfaces and safety requirements of fume-cupboard fire-suppression systems, and support reliable installation or replacement within a short delivery window. The direct award rationale also shows that technical compatibility and supplier uniqueness were central to the buyer’s decision. A credible future competitor would therefore need clear evidence of product compatibility, specialist fire-suppression expertise, dependable supply arrangements and the ability to meet the requirements of research and laboratory facilities. The incumbent is an SME specialising in this field.
