UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process conducted by UK Research and Innovation, a central government public authority based in Swindon, United Kingdom, involved the award of a contract titled "CSP25367 - ACON FSE attendance." The contract, falling under the industry category of engineering-related scientific and technical services, commenced on 15th September 2025 and is set to conclude on 19th December 2025. This contract reached the award stage without a competitive tender due to specific technical reasons, and Kongsberg Maritime AS, a large enterprise based in Norway, was chosen as the supplier through a direct procurement method categorised as "Below threshold - without competition." The contract value amounts to €14,492, reflecting the agreed supply of services and related expenses.

This tender presents an opportunity for suppliers specialising in engineering-related services, particularly those capable of delivering highly technical solutions that meet exacting specifications. Although this contract was awarded without competition, future tenders from UK Research and Innovation may require similar specialised services, creating potential business growth opportunities for firms with expertise in scientific and technical engineering. Companies that can demonstrate a strong track record in specialised engineering services, preferably within the UK or EU markets, would be well-suited to compete should similar opportunities arise in the future.
