## Summary

UK Research and Innovation bought transportation for eight containers to the Falkland Islands via MOD 26/04S. The requirement is freight transport, with the goods described as transport equipment and related products. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement for UKRI. The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and Kuehne+Nagel Ltd was selected. The contract was awarded directly, without competition, on the stated basis that there were no reasonable alternatives. The contract was signed on 19 October 2026 and runs from 19 to 26 October 2026. Its value is £31,414.20 excluding VAT (£37,697.04 including VAT). The procurement was treated as one lot; the available outcome information does not state a separate award date or an evaluation scoring basis.

This purchase shows UKRI’s need for container transportation to the Falkland Islands through the MOD 26/04S route. A future supplier would need to demonstrate the practical ability to arrange transport for multiple containers and manage the route and its associated logistics. Kuehne+Nagel Ltd, a large logistics company, was selected for this requirement. The buyer’s stated rationale for proceeding without competition indicates that the route or service had no reasonable alternative in this procurement; competitors would need to understand and meet that specific requirement to be credible when it next arises.
