UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation, a central government public authority located in Swindon, has successfully concluded a procurement process for the acquisition of two weather stations under the title "CSP25173 - Weather Stations." The procurement stage is now at the Award phase, with the contract being signed on 17th July 2025 and active from 18th July 2025 until 10th August 2025. This contract, valued at £16,500.03 with a gross amount of £19,800.04, was completed through a direct procurement method due to a lack of competition for technical reasons. The weather stations are to be delivered within the United Kingdom, specifically classified under the goods industry category.

This procurement creates growth opportunities primarily for businesses specialising in the manufacturing and supply of meteorological instruments, specifically weather stations, aligning with the CPV code 38127000. The contract was awarded to Campbell Scientific Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Shepshed, indicating that similar scale businesses with expertise in technical and specialised equipment supply could be well-placed to compete for future contracts of similar nature. This highlights opportunities for SMEs to gain traction in supplying specialised government requirements when technical capabilities uniquely qualify them for non-competitive tenders.
