## Summary

UK Research and Innovation bought a vacuum turbo pump for use in its operations. This is a goods requirement covering the supply of a specialist vacuum pump, classified under CPV 42122450. The buying organisation is UK Research and Innovation, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd managing the procurement. Delivery is to the United Kingdom. The requirement was handled as a single procurement lot and relates specifically to vacuum turbo-pump supply rather than installation, maintenance or a broader laboratory equipment package. It is therefore most relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist engineering suppliers with a direct product offering in vacuum pumps and the ability to support delivery to a UK public-sector research organisation.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES LDA UK LIMITED following a below-threshold limited competition and competitive quotation procedure. The contract was signed on 17 September 2026 and runs from 18 September 2026 to 30 October 2026. Its value is £11,457.66 excluding VAT, or £13,749.19 including VAT. The process used one completed lot, covering the vacuum turbo pump requirement. This outcome records a completed purchase rather than an invitation to submit a bid. UK Research and Innovation was the buyer, and UK Shared Business Services Ltd acted as the procuring entity and shared service provider. The selected supplier is a large UK-registered company.

This procurement is useful market evidence for suppliers of vacuum turbo pumps serving public research organisations. A credible competitor would need a clearly defined vacuum-pump product range, the technical knowledge to identify and supply the required turbo-pump specification, and reliable UK delivery capability. Manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist laboratory or vacuum-equipment businesses are the most naturally placed to compete when this buyer next sources a comparable requirement. The route used was a below-threshold limited competition based on competitive quotations, so suppliers should be able to respond efficiently to focused quotation requests and present clear technical and commercial information. The awarded supplier’s scale also indicates that established specialist businesses with dependable fulfilment and public-sector tendering experience may be well positioned for similar requirements.
