UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process is conducted by UK Research and Innovation, focusing on the supply of bespoke mooring ropes. Operating within the industry category for goods, particularly under the classification of ropes, this process denotes a specific procurement need and location in Swindon, United Kingdom. As of July 2025, the procurement stage has reached completion, culminating in the award of the contract. The procurement method was direct, executed below the threshold without competition, due to the technical specificity required, effectively designated to DSM Group. The contract commenced on 10th July 2025 and is set to conclude by 18th August 2025.

This procurement presents limited direct business growth opportunities due to the bespoke nature and technical specificity necessitating the selection of a particular supplier. However, businesses specialising in similarly bespoke and technically specialised products may find synergy with the needs of similar public authorities. Companies that possess the capabilities to manufacture or supply specialised goods, especially in the rope industry, and who can meet unique government specifications, may focus on similar tenders in the future for potential growth and partnerships with key public sectors. The UK Research and Innovation as a central government authority provides a model for procurement practices in bespoke and technically demanding product categories.
