## Summary

UK Research and Innovation bought long beam sets for APA frames, classified as miscellaneous building structures. The requirement was for the supply of goods rather than construction or consultancy services, with delivery in the United Kingdom. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement for UK Research and Innovation. The scope was arranged as a single lot and relates specifically to beam sets used with APA frames. This is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of structural or fabricated building components, particularly those able to supply engineered beam sets for research, industrial or specialist infrastructure applications. The named requirement is narrow, so firms whose work is limited to general construction services, unrelated building materials or professional design services are unlikely to be a close match.

This procurement is complete and was awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Egkenn Vacuum Technlogoy sp. z o.o. was awarded the contract for the single lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 11 September 2026. The contract period ran from 11 September 2026 to 15 September 2026. Its value was £46,836 excluding VAT, or £56,203.20 including VAT. The procurement was for goods and was below the applicable threshold. The published outcome describes this as a contract details notice rather than a call for competition. The process therefore records a completed purchase and selected supplier, rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This outcome shows a defined requirement for long beam sets supporting APA frames, bought through a below-threshold limited competition and delivered in the UK. A credible future competitor would need to manufacture or source suitable structural beam sets, understand the dimensional, loading, connection and compatibility requirements of APA frames, and provide goods that meet the buyer’s technical specification. Reliable short-duration fulfilment and UK delivery arrangements would also be important, given the compact contract period recorded for this purchase. The successful supplier was an SME based in Poland, indicating that a smaller specialist manufacturer or distributor can compete for this scale of requirement, including from outside the UK. Relevant firms should be able to demonstrate product quality, technical responsiveness and dependable procurement and delivery support.
