UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involves the UK Research and Innovation as the buying organisation, located at Polaris House, North Star Avenue, Swindon, UK. The tender, titled "PS25221 - Foreign Guarantee work for Myrtle and Dimensional Imaging," falls under the services category, specifically legal advisory services. The procurement was concluded via a direct method without competition due to the absence of suitable alternatives and has been completed, with the contract awarded on the basis of technical necessity. The contract's active period is from 20 August 2025 to 31 October 2025, valued at £24,000 GBP.

The procurement presents a growth opportunity for businesses in the legal advisory sector, particularly those capable of providing highly specialised services that may require technical expertise unavailable elsewhere. Although this contract was directly awarded to Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., indicating a high level of expertise required, organisations with unique capabilities or those in niche markets may find similar procurement opportunities by engaging with buyers like UK Research and Innovation. Businesses aiming to expand within the central government sector should focus on developing specialised skills that address specific procurement needs, thus positioning themselves as potential collaborators for future projects.
