## Summary

UK Research and Innovation procured precast concrete blocks to support drum and gas platforms. This is a supply requirement for concrete products, rather than construction or installation work. The buying organisation is UK Research and Innovation, with procurement managed by UK Shared Business Services Ltd. Delivery was specified for the United Kingdom, with no more precise delivery location recorded. The requirement covers one lot and is described as support blocks for the platforms; the published scope does not give quantities, dimensions, grades or technical specifications. The work is therefore most directly relevant to precast concrete manufacturers and suppliers able to produce blocks suitable for platform support and deliver them within the UK. The supplier selected was Poundfield Precast Limited, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Ipswich.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It followed a below-threshold limited competition; the contract was signed on 12 October 2026 and awarded to Poundfield Precast Limited. The contract value is £19,464.92 excluding VAT (£23,357.90 including VAT). The contract period runs from 13 October to 27 November 2026. The process had one lot, covering precast blocks for support of drum and gas platforms, and that lot was completed. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition, but the published details do not state the award criteria or weighting. The recorded contract is for the supply of concrete products for delivery in the United Kingdom. No separate award date is recorded.

This award shows that UK Research and Innovation buys specialist precast concrete blocks for supporting drum and gas platforms through a limited competition. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to manufacture or source precast blocks suited to structural platform support, meet the buyer’s technical requirements, and organise delivery within the UK. The selected business was a small or medium-sized supplier, demonstrating that the requirement was fulfilled by an SME rather than only a large contractor. Suppliers with relevant precast production capability and experience supplying concrete products for industrial or platform-support applications are the closest fit. The scope is focused on supplying blocks; the procurement does not evidence a requirement for wider construction services, installation, or platform operation.
