UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), based in Swindon, has completed a procurement process for services provided by Cytek Biosciences Ltd. This was a direct procurement, carried out without competition due to technical reasons, and involved a renewal service contract specifically tailored to Cytek Biosciences. The procurement was within the service category as defined by CPV classification 73110000 for research services and concluded on 12th August 2025, extending for one month until 12th September 2025. The process, managed by UK Shared Business Services Ltd as the procuring entity, is a part of a broader public authority initiative supported by central government.

The awarded contract presents an opportunity for businesses in the research services segment to align their offerings towards highly specialised projects similar to this. While the contract was awarded directly to Cytek Biosciences Ltd, indicating a lack of competitive suppliers in this niche, businesses with expertise in innovative bioscience applications could consider developing capacities that meet stringent technical specifications. Collaborating with UKRI or UK Shared Business Services might uncover more potential opportunities, particularly in areas where there is recognised demand for singular expertise and advanced technical solutions. Large-scale enterprises, especially those with experience in complex scientific services, stand to benefit most within this market.
