UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "CSP25024 - Crossbeam 550L HV Unit Repair," was managed by the buying organisation UK Research and Innovation, based in Swindon, United Kingdom. This contract, classified under the industry category of repair and maintenance services for electrical machinery, was at the award stage as of 14th May 2025. Located in the UK, the procurement involved a direct method without competition, due to technical reasons. The contract period spanned from 7th May 2025 to 12th May 2025, and the supplier Carl Zeiss Ltd was awarded the contract to supply the required equipment.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in repair and maintenance services, particularly those with the capability to work with specialised electrical machinery and apparatus. Although this specific contract was awarded directly due to technical compatibility, it highlights the potential for businesses with unique technical expertise or existing supplier relationships to engage with central government procurement processes. Companies similar to Carl Zeiss Ltd, particularly those large in scale with a focus on electrical machinery, can find growth by targeting niche governmental contracts where technical specifications or warranty maintenance are crucial factors.
