Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), a central government public authority, involved the direct award of a contract for specialist components needed for the CUBES Instrument. The tender, titled "CSP25186 - Components," falls within the industry category of electrical components, and the procurement method chosen was direct, as it was deemed that only a particular supplier could provide the required goods due to technical reasons. The contract was signed on 16th July 2025 and is active from 17th July until 10th August 2025. The contract location is within the United Kingdom, with the procurement process complete and the contract valued at £11,279.90 net.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses involved in supplying specialized electrical components to engage with a prominent public authority. The nature of the contract suggests that suppliers with advanced technical capabilities and those able to offer unique, high-quality components would be well-suited to compete in similar scenarios. Although this tender was not open to competition, understanding the needs and specifications of such processes can be valuable for businesses aiming to differentiate themselves and present their offerings to government bodies seeking niche technical solutions.
