## Summary

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) requires maintenance services for its research instruments. The work is repair and maintenance of research equipment, delivered across the United Kingdom. UKRI is the buyer, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd managing the procurement. The contract covers one lot of instrument maintenance. The requirement is described as services needed to maintain UKRI’s research instruments; the named supplier is LabLogic Systems Limited, based in Sheffield. This is a specialist requirement tied to the instruments in use at UKRI, rather than a general facilities-maintenance contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to LabLogic Systems Limited. UKRI used a direct award without competition, stating that only a particular supplier could provide the services. The contract was signed on 16 October 2026 and runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027. Its value is £13,664.93 excluding VAT, or £16,397.92 including VAT. The procurement was below the applicable threshold and consisted of one lot. No evaluation basis is recorded; the award proceeded without a competitive assessment. The contract is active.

For suppliers considering similar work for UKRI, this award indicates demand for maintenance of research instruments, rather than broad building or general equipment maintenance. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to service the relevant instruments and provide dependable technical maintenance for a research environment. The stated reason for the direct award was that only a particular supplier could provide the services, so competing in future would depend on establishing that the required specialist capability is available from more than one provider. LabLogic Systems, an SME, was selected for this requirement, showing that a supplier need not be a large corporation to serve UKRI. Companies with relevant instrument expertise and a clear route to supporting UKRI’s research equipment are the closest fit.
