Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "UKRI-4836 BAS Food additional Supplies" contract was conducted by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a sub-central government public authority based in Swindon, United Kingdom. This contract, situated in the food and related products industry category, initially involved the supply of additional food supplies for the British Antarctic Survey. It was part of a tender initiated with a limited competition procurement method. The contract was signed on 11th March 2025, with an effective period from 13th March to 31st March 2025, and had a total value of £89,517.62. Although initially active, the contract was later terminated by 22nd May 2025.

This tender presented growth opportunities for suppliers, particularly those in the food and beverage sector, capable of fulfilling logistical challenges and requirements for remote supply chains.
