## Summary

UK Research and Innovation bought magnet frames, described as large parts, together with trial assembly for the SuperMuSR programme. The requirement is for the supply of structures and parts of structures, covering the physical magnet-frame components and associated assembly activity. The work is for UKRI, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd acting as the procuring and shared-service organisation. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a specialist physical engineering and fabrication requirement rather than a general research, consultancy or routine maintenance service. Businesses relevant to this requirement are those able to manufacture or supply substantial structural components and carry out trial assembly associated with magnet-frame equipment. The procurement was handled as one lot and concerned goods, with the assembly element forming part of the overall supply requirement.

The procurement has been completed following a below-threshold limited competition, and WEC GROUP LIMITED was awarded the contract. The award is active and the contract is active. The award date was 25 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 26 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £38,118.58 excluding VAT and £45,742.30 including VAT. The process used one completed lot. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition exercise; the published information identifies the procurement route but does not set out separate quality, price or technical weightings. This was a contract details outcome rather than an invitation to compete, so the procurement records a completed selection and award to the named supplier.

This award is evidence that UK Research and Innovation has a defined requirement for specialist magnet-frame structures and trial assembly, delivered through a below-threshold limited competition. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in the manufacture or supply of large structural components, together with the engineering capacity to undertake trial assembly for SuperMuSR-related equipment. Experience handling substantial parts and integrating or assembling them would be directly relevant. The successful supplier is a large business, indicating that the requirement was delivered by an organisation with established production and delivery capacity, although the procurement does not state that smaller firms were excluded. Businesses in structural fabrication, engineered components and specialist assembly can use this award to assess whether their capabilities match this buyer’s specific requirement when comparable work returns to market.
