## Summary

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) procured an ACS purifier, classified as machinery for filtering or purifying gases. This is a purchase of equipment rather than a wider installation or service contract. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement for UKRI. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; no specific town or site is identified in the available delivery details. The requirement was for the ACS purifier to be supplied, with the procurement describing the equipment as having no reasonable alternative because of technical constraints and only one supplier being able to provide it.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to MEGATECH LIMITED. UKRI used a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold, on the stated grounds that technical reasons left no reasonable alternative supplier. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 28 February 2027. Its value is £14,517.84 excluding VAT, or £17,421.41 including VAT. The procurement was handled as a single lot. No separate award date or evaluation criteria are recorded; the stated basis for proceeding without competition was the technical restriction on supply.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible supplier would need to demonstrate that it can supply the specified ACS purifier and address UKRI’s technical requirement. The award indicates that product suitability and the absence of reasonable alternatives were decisive: suppliers offering general gas-filtration equipment may not be competitive unless they can show it meets the same specific need. MEGATECH LIMITED, an SME, was selected for this supply, showing that the requirement was deliverable by a specialist-sized business. The work was a focused equipment purchase, rather than a broad service or installation package. Suppliers with access to the required purifier, relevant technical product knowledge and the ability to substantiate compatibility would be best placed to compete if UKRI’s requirement returns to market.
