## Summary

UK Research and Innovation bought work to relocate gases used in its Cat rig, under requirements relating to the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR). The procurement covered nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological protection equipment. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement on UKRI’s behalf. Delivery was in the United Kingdom; the procurement does not identify a more specific site. The requirement centres on moving gases associated with a research rig, so suppliers working with gas systems and specialist safety equipment are the closest fit. The published scope does not describe the gases, equipment configuration or installation tasks in further detail.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Gastek Control Systems Ltd following a limited competition below the applicable threshold. The buyer’s description says the supplier was selected from multiple suppliers because it could complete the work within the required timeframe. The contract was signed on 7 October 2026 and runs from 8 October to 5 November 2026. Its value is £10,985 excluding VAT (£13,182 including VAT). There was one lot, covering the procurement as a whole. The stated basis for selection was the supplier’s ability to deliver within the required timeframe; no further evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are set out.

For suppliers competing when UKRI’s Cat rig gas-relocation requirement returns to market, the award shows that the buyer values the ability to complete specialist gas-related work within a defined timeframe. Credible competitors are likely to need practical capability to relocate gases safely in a research setting, alongside knowledge of relevant DSEAR requirements and suitable chemical and radiological protection equipment. The work was awarded through a limited competition, so suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate relevant technical capacity and a convincing delivery plan when approached through a similar route. This was a small, focused requirement rather than a broad equipment supply programme. The awarded supplier was a large business, but the published information does not establish that a particular business size, accreditation or prior contract experience was required.
