UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "UKRI-5095 Lakeshore components" was overseen by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a prominent public authority within the central government. Located in Swindon, Wiltshire, UKRI aimed to source temperature regulators for the UK Astronomy Technology Centre (UKATC). The procurement fell under the industry category of goods and was carried out using a direct method, specifically below the threshold without competition. The process reached the contract award stage, with the contract becoming active on 17 July 2025 and set to conclude on 17 August 2025. The significant legal framework guiding this procurement was specified under the UKPGA 2023/54 legislation.

This tender presents valuable business growth opportunities, especially for large-scale enterprises like Quantum Design UK and Ireland Ltd, which was selected as the supplier. Companies operating in the manufacturing and supply of scientific components, particularly those capable of providing high-quality temperature regulation systems, would find this contract appealing. The direct procurement method indicates a streamlined contracting process, offering efficient turnaround for businesses capable of meeting the outlined technical specifications and delivery schedules. This opportunity not only illustrates a niche requirement but also highlights the potential for future engagements with UKRI and similar public authorities in the central government.
