## Summary

UK Research and Innovation procured shipment services for moving goods from a factory to Fermilab, a US national laboratory. The requirement covers freight transport agency services, including the arrangements needed to organise and manage factory-to-Fermilab shipments. The procurement was bought by UK Research and Innovation, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd acting as the shared service provider and procuring entity. The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom, although the service requirement is explicitly connected to shipments destined for Fermilab. This is a logistics and freight coordination opportunity for providers experienced in arranging international movements of manufactured or technical goods, managing transport documentation and coordinating deliveries across borders.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. It followed a below-threshold limited competition, using a competitive quotation procedure. One lot was awarded to Jack Lewin Associates, Inc. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026 and runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 October 2026. Its value is USD 54,875 excluding tax, or USD 65,850 including tax. The award is for services and is classified under CPV 63521000, freight transport agency services. The successful supplier is an SME based in Des Plaines, United States. The published outcome records one active contract for the shipment requirement; no separate award criteria or detailed scoring basis is stated.

This award shows that UK Research and Innovation uses a limited competition route for a defined, below-threshold international shipment requirement rather than a large open procurement. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would be freight forwarders or logistics coordinators able to organise factory collections, international transport and delivery to a specialist research facility. Credible competitors would need experience handling technical, scientific or industrial consignments, coordinating multiple transport parties and preparing accurate customs and shipping documentation. A US or UK operating capability, or reliable cross-border partner network, would be relevant because the buyer is UK-based while the named destination is Fermilab in the United States. SME participation is evidenced by the selected supplier.
