UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has awarded a contract titled "CSP25167 - Electricity charges at Herstmonceux Geodesy Facility" under the central government category. The procurement process, concluded on 15th July 2025, involved a direct award to EDF Energy due to technical exclusivity. This contract, set in Swindon, United Kingdom, spans from 15th July 2025 to 19th December 2025 and is valued at £21,000 gross. The procurement method used was direct, and the process did not involve competition, indicating it was below the procurement threshold.

This tender presents limited business opportunities due to its direct award nature, signifying a unique case where the supplier was pre-selected for technical reasons. However, businesses in the energy sector, particularly those capable of providing specialised electricity services in geodesy facilities, might recognise the importance of developing strategic relationships with public authorities like UKRI for future competitive tenders. Large-scale energy suppliers might find such contracts indicative of potential areas for technical collaboration or future competitive opportunities.
