UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by UK Research and Innovation, a central government public authority, involves the procurement of a Halley Hydraulic Leg Cylinder, tailored for specific technical needs. The contract was awarded under the direct procurement method without competition due to the unique technical specifications required. The process is identified by the title 'GSS25337 - Halley Hydraulic Leg Cylinder' and is categorised under the industry of hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders, with delivery within the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract active from 15 May 2025 to 21 August 2025, having been signed on 15 May 2025. The contract's gross value is £22,110, of which £18,425 is the net amount.

This tender presents limited opportunities for business growth, primarily applicable to companies capable of supplying highly specialised hydraulic equipment, such as bespoke leg hydraulic cylinders. As the contract has already been awarded to R S Fluid Power Limited, entities with expertise in providing unique hydraulic solutions may look to procure similar invitations in the future. Businesses operating in the hydraulic equipment sector and capable of meeting rigorous technical specifications would be well-suited to compete for similar specialised opportunities. Although this particular tender was concluded without competition, it highlights the potential for niche market players to secure public contracts through direct procurement methods.
