UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) organisation has completed the procurement process for the project titled "UKRI-5128 Tri-Axial Accelerometers," aiming to acquire accelerometers for STFC-RAL. Located in Swindon, Wiltshire, UKRI serves as a public authority within the central government sector. The procurement falls under the industry category of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment and has been realised as a limited competition process due to its below-threshold nature. The significant dates within this procurement included the contract start date on 29th July 2025, with its completion and contract active status commencing on 28th July 2025. The contract was signed just a day before the start date, concluding on 8th September 2025. DJB Instruments (UK) Ltd, based in Suffolk, was the appointed supplier.

This tender represents an essential opportunity for businesses specialising in precision equipment, particularly those producing accelerometers or similar laboratory and optical precision instruments. It offers a ripe opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) seeking to collaborate with governmental bodies such as UKRI, known for its extensive focus on research and innovation. By aligning products with precise specifications and demonstrating capability in limited yet competitive procurement environments, companies can effectively grow their business presence in public sector contracts and access new project opportunities. Businesses focused on precision equipment manufacturing, and capable of meeting government standards and requirements, are particularly well-suited to benefit and compete in similar future tenders.
