Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the project titled "CSP25150 - Motors Upgrade" has been concluded by UK Research and Innovation, a central government authority based in Swindon, United Kingdom. This award, dated 10th July 2025, pertains to the goods sector, specifically the supply and upgrade of five motors. The procurement was conducted via a direct method, bypassing competition, due to technical limitations requiring a specific supplier. The contract, falling under the industry category code 42111000 for motors, was effective from 9th July 2025 to 14th July 2025, with the contract signed on 8th July 2025. UK Shared Business Services Ltd acted as the procuring entity for this process.

This procurement offers insights into opportunities for businesses with unique technical capabilities or proprietary technologies, as it highlights scenarios where direct awards are made due to a lack of alternatives. In particular, companies specialising in custom or advanced motor technology with limited competition could find similar opportunities for government contracts. The award to Fastlite, an SME from Antibes, France, underscores the potential for small and medium enterprises to engage in cross-border contracts when they possess specialised expertise in the required goods or services. Businesses with innovative motor solutions or established credentials in niche sectors may be well-suited to compete for such targeted procurement opportunities.
