## Summary

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) commissioned external road access works at Windmill Gate. The requirement covers construction or improvement of an external access road, classified as roadworks, for UKRI’s operations. The buying organisation is UKRI, a central government public authority, based in Swindon, Wiltshire. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement falls within the works category and relates to a single requirement rather than a wider programme of separate services. The selected supplier, DH Building Services (Oxford) Ltd, is based in Witney, Oxfordshire. The opportunity is therefore relevant to civil engineering, highways and building services contractors able to undertake external road access works for a public sector research organisation. It is not primarily a consultancy, supplies or routine facilities-management requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed. UKRI awarded the contract to DH Building Services (Oxford) Ltd, and the contract was signed on 8 September 2026. The contract runs from 8 September 2026 to 30 November 2026. Its value is £110,670 excluding VAT, or £132,804 including VAT. The contract is active. The procurement used a limited procedure rather than an open competition, so the award followed a restricted invitation process. The published outcome identifies roadworks as the contracted activity and links the award to the single lot covering the external road Windmill Gate access works. No separate award values or additional suppliers are recorded.

This procurement is useful market evidence for contractors delivering external road and access works for UKRI. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical civil engineering or highways capability, including the capacity to plan and carry out roadworks associated with site access. The work shows demand from a central government research organisation for a defined, site-based access project rather than general construction support. Suppliers with experience delivering comparable external access works, coordinating work on an operational public-sector site and completing projects within a short delivery window would be well placed to compete when a similar requirement returns. The selected supplier’s appointment also indicates that a focused building-services contractor can be relevant to this type of roadworks package.
