## Summary

UK Research and Innovation procured titanium posts for the PIP-II project, described as requirement OMDL-114. The purchase is for precision-engineered goods rather than a service or construction project. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement on UKRI’s behalf. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery location is identified. The requirement is focused on titanium posts, so it is most relevant to suppliers able to manufacture or supply these components to the required technical specification. The procurement sits within laboratory, optical and precision equipment, although the published description does not give further technical dimensions, tolerances or quantities.

The procurement is complete and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed, and the contract was awarded to Triples Apparel Ltd trading as Oxton Engineering. The award is active. The contract was signed on 20 October 2026 and runs from 20 October 2026 to 20 February 2027. Its value is £37,140 excluding VAT (£44,568 including VAT). The stated procurement description identifies PIP-II titanium posts, requirement OMDL-114. No award evaluation criteria or detailed eligibility conditions are set out in the available procurement information.

This award shows UK Research and Innovation’s demand for titanium posts for the PIP-II requirement, procured through a limited competition managed by UK Shared Business Services. Suppliers best placed to compete when this specific requirement returns will be able to supply or produce titanium posts that meet the buyer’s technical specification, deliver reliably within a defined project schedule, and provide evidence of quality and consistency appropriate to precision-engineered components. The award went to an SME, indicating that delivery was achieved by a smaller supplier, though the procurement does not describe any required accreditation, production capacity, technical thresholds or prior experience. Businesses in precision metal engineering or specialist component supply should assess whether they can meet the exact PIP-II requirements and support UKRI’s purchasing route.
