Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process involves UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) as the buying organisation for the contract titled "UKRI-5131 TI Chips - EMS Lupex." This procurement falls under the industry category of goods, specifically diodes, and is based in Swindon, Wiltshire, United Kingdom. The process follows a limited procurement method due to its classification as below threshold with limited competition. The initial contract was completed, with an award to Arrow Electronics (UK) Ltd, starting on 30th July 2025 and scheduled to end on 31st March 2026. However, the contract status was marked as terminated due to its completion on 2nd March 2026.

This tender provides opportunities for growth, primarily for businesses involved in electronics and semiconductor manufacturing. Companies that specialise in supplying electronic components like diodes would be well-suited to compete in such tenders. Leveraging such contracts can enhance business profiles through collaboration with central government entities like UKRI, fostering further opportunities for businesses aiming to establish or expand their footprint in government-related supply chains.
