UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process was led by UK Research and Innovation, focusing on the acquisition of consumables for measurement systems. The industry category for this contract falls under goods, specifically miscellaneous compounds for microscopes. The procurement was directed by UK Shared Business Services Ltd, both headquartered in Swindon, at Polaris House, with a duration from 25th June 2025 to 30th September 2025. The process was in the "Award" stage at the time of reporting, and the contract was signed on 24th June 2025. The procurement method employed was direct, without competition, under the below-threshold classification. The contract value was GBP 12,513.60 gross, awarded to Quantum Design UK and Ireland Ltd, a large supplier based in Leatherhead.

This tender offers a specific opportunity primarily for those businesses specialising in supplying technical consumables for scientific measurement systems. With the procurement completed due to technical reasons necessitating a particular supplier, businesses with proprietary or highly specialised products may find similar opportunities scarce but highly rewarding when identified. Companies that can offer unique or technically indispensable components should track such direct procurement opportunities from central government authorities like UK Research and Innovation to position themselves strategically within this niche market.
