This contract, within the radio and radar equipment parts industry category, is part of the Chilbolton Radar Satellite upgrade. The procurement used a negotiated procedure without prior publication under Public Contract Regulations 2015, Regulation 32 (2) (b) (ii). The key dates include the contract award on 5th February 2025 and the contract period from 7th February 2025 to 31st October 2025. The project location is in the South East region of the United Kingdom, and the total contract value is £155,340.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the radio and radar equipment sector, particularly those that supply niche, high-tech components. Given the nature of the negotiated procurement method and the involvement of a major scientific organisation, this contract can bolster a company’s portfolio and establish vital connections within the public sector. While large businesses like CPI Electron Device Business Inc are directly involved, smaller businesses and VCSEs could find opportunities in subcontracting or future similar projects, leveraging this contract award as a proof of capability and reliability.
