## Summary

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) procured laboratory safety cabinets, including their installation and commissioning, end-user training and a five-year warranty. This is a supply requirement with associated installation and support, intended for UKRI. The procurement was managed by UK Shared Business Services Ltd on UKRI’s behalf. Delivery is recorded as being in the United Kingdom; no specific delivery town or site is identified. The cabinets are classified as laboratory furniture (CPV 39180000).

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. UKRI used a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed, and Contained Air Solutions Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 4 October 2026 and runs from 5 October 2026 to 29 January 2027. Its value is £20,831.50 excluding VAT (£24,997.80 including VAT). The award record does not give a separate award date. The procurement description identifies the requirement and service elements, but does not state the evaluation criteria or explain how bids were scored.

For suppliers of laboratory safety cabinets, this award shows UKRI’s demand for a package covering supply, installation, commissioning, end-user training and a five-year warranty, rather than equipment alone. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need to demonstrate the ability to provide the cabinets and coordinate the associated on-site installation and commissioning, train end users, and support the equipment through a long warranty period. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized business, showing that this requirement was delivered by an SME. The limited-competition route is also relevant to suppliers preparing to compete for comparable requirements from UKRI.
