Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation has completed a direct procurement process for the supply of coastal monitoring hardware, identified as "GSS25206 - Supply of coastal monitoring hardware." This procurement was conducted without competition due to the absence of alternative suppliers capable of providing the specific SGEO EEG GB hardware required. The procurement falls under the industry category of electronic equipment and is managed from Swindon, United Kingdom. Notably, the contract was awarded on 13th March 2025 and is scheduled to commence on 27th July 2025, running through until 27th September 2025. The entire process is documented under legal basis 2023/54, as per UK legislation.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the supply of specialised electronic equipment, particularly those capable of meeting bespoke technological needs. Although the contract for this specific tender has been awarded to Datalink Electronics Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Leicestershire, similar future opportunities might benefit suppliers with the ability to customise and deliver highly specialised technical solutions. Companies working closely with technology innovations and niche market needs in the public sector could consider aligning their capabilities to meet such unique procurement requirements.
