## Summary

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) procured studio work, described as phases 1–6, as a facilities management service. The requirement was for UKRI and was delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement comprised one lot and is presented as a single studio-work requirement; the published description does not explain the individual tasks or facilities involved.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Abbey Business Interiors Ltd. UKRI used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026 and runs from 12 October to 31 December 2026. Its stated value is £51,579.60 excluding VAT, or £61,895.52 including VAT. The award relates to one lot. The published details do not set out an evaluation basis or participation criteria.

For businesses competing when UKRI next buys this studio-work requirement, the award shows that the buyer used a direct, non-competitive route for a short, single-lot facilities management commission. Abbey Business Interiors Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise, was selected. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that it can deliver studio work for a UKRI requirement across the stated phases, and provide facilities management capability suited to a focused commission. The published description does not break down the work or identify specific accreditations, staffing requirements or technical qualifications, so it does not establish a more detailed capability profile.
