Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation, located in Swindon, United Kingdom, has concluded a procurement process with the contract titled "CSP25430 - Metal seals for T2K beam window and helium pipes." This process, managed by UK Shared Business Services Ltd, falls under the central government public authority category and pertains to engineering services. The procurement, identified as being below threshold and proceeding without competition due to technical reasons, was completed on the 1st of October 2025. The contract, valued at £18,935, was awarded to Technetics Group France and covers the provision of metal seals, with the contract period from 1st October to 10th December 2025.

This tender offers limited business growth opportunities given its direct procurement method and absence of competitive tendering. However, it highlights the potential niche markets for specialised SMEs like Technetics Group, capable of supplying highly technical products that meet specific requirements. Businesses in the engineering services sector, particularly those with innovative or unique capabilities, may find similar procurement opportunities by monitoring the needs of central government bodies and leveraging their specialised offerings.
