Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by UK Research and Innovation, involved the direct award of a contract for the supply of HEXITEC 2x2 (Custom Camera) in the goods category, specifically cameras (CPV: 38651000). The process was concluded without a competitive tender due to technical reasons, with only Aspect Systems GmbH capable of supplying the required product. Taking place in the United Kingdom, specifically Swindon, this contract was awarded on 21 July 2025, and is set to run until 7 October 2025, with a contract value of €19,500. UK Shared Business Services Ltd served as the procuring entity, facilitating the contracting process.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in highly technical and specific equipment such as custom cameras. Companies with expertise in niche technological products might find similar future opportunities within the public sector. Although the contract was awarded directly, businesses that can offer unique, technically exceptional products may be well-suited to engage with such procurements, particularly those capable of meeting specific public sector technological needs. The process exemplifies the potential for specialised suppliers to secure contracts without general competition when they provide exclusive or distinctive solutions.
