UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by UK Research and Innovation, based in Swindon, has concluded for the "DDaT25219 - HPC System Software Installation." This falls under the industry category of software packages and information systems and installation services, with delivery specified across the United Kingdom. The process, which was completed on the 12th of June 2025, used a direct procurement method without competition due to technical reasons. The contract has been awarded under the "award" and "contract" procurement stages, and Dell Corporation Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract, valued at £18,709.20 gross, was signed on the 7th of May 2025 and is expected to run until the 7th of May 2026.

This tender represents a business growth opportunity for companies in the software installation sector, particularly those specialising in high-performance computing systems. Although in this case, Dell Corporation Limited was the only viable supplier, businesses with technical expertise and unique capabilities in this niche market could leverage similar opportunities by establishing themselves as potential partners for future needs of public authorities like UK Research and Innovation. Enterprises attentive to such specific requirements and capable of delivering bespoke solutions are well-suited to compete in such high-value contracts, thus facilitating business expansion and establishing long-term relationships with government organisations.
