Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was initiated by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) for supplying security cameras, documented under the tender ID CSP25005. This contract falls within the industry category of security goods and is classified as a central government public authority purchase. Located in Swindon, UK, the process has moved through various stages, concluding at the award phase, with the contract signed on 7th May 2025 and active from 8th May 2025 to 16th June 2025. The procurement method employed was a limited competition, targeted below the threshold, ensuring a focused competitive quotation procedure. The contract details notice was published on 8th May 2025.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to secure contracts with central government bodies like UKRI. Transparent Communications Ltd, an SME providing security solutions, successfully capitalised on this opportunity by being awarded the contract. The procurement process, with its limited competition approach, creates a conducive environment for businesses that can offer specialised, high-quality goods while potentially reducing the level of direct competition typical of more open tendering processes. Companies that can provide competitive bids within specific niches like security technologies stand to benefit significantly from such procurement exercises.
