Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) involves the contracting of Cryocapcell SAS for the project titled "UKRI-5056 Clamps for High Pressure Freezer." This procurement falls under the industry categories of "Parts of freezing equipment" and "Research and experimental development services." The procurement, completed under the "Award" and "Contract" stages, took place without competition due to its below-threshold nature, with key activities occurring in 2025, including the contract's start date on the 2nd of July and its conclusion on the 6th of October. UKRI, a central government public authority based in Swindon, Wiltshire, spearheads this initiative, with the expected products delivered within the United Kingdom's South East region, more specifically in UKJ14.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in the design and manufacture of specialised equipment components, particularly those related to freezing and clamping mechanisms. Given the project's focus, companies with expertise in high-tech equipment and experimental research services, such as large-scale manufacturers or developers in the scientific research equipment sector, would be well-suited to engage in similar future opportunities. Collaboration with UKRI, an influential research and innovation organisation, can also open doors to further projects and partnerships within governmental and advanced research sectors.
