## Summary

UK Research and Innovation bought replacement chemical solvent and chemical plant servicing, classified as repair and maintenance services. The requirement combines supplying replacement solvent with servicing chemical plant. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement on UKRI’s behalf. The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom; no more specific place is identified. This is a single service requirement for UKRI, rather than a general chemicals supply opportunity: suppliers whose work covers both replacement solvent and chemical plant servicing are the closest match.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. UKRI used a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot. NUVOCHEM LTD was selected and the contract was signed on 23 September 2026. The contract runs from 23 September to 30 September 2026. Its value is £36,252.50 excluding tax, or £43,503 including tax. The published information does not state a separate award date or an evaluation formula, so the outcome and the limited-competition route are the available details of how the selection was made.

For suppliers assessing future UKRI requirements, this award indicates demand for replacement chemical solvent together with servicing of chemical plant, not simply a standalone supply of chemicals or general plant maintenance. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that it can provide the replacement solvent and carry out the associated plant servicing as a joined requirement. The selected supplier was NUVOCHEM LTD, a small business, showing that a smaller supplier was selected for this particular contract; this does not establish a formal size preference. The procurement used a limited competition, so a supplier considering similar work should be able to compete through that kind of route and show relevant delivery capability for both parts of the requirement.
