Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process was conducted by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), headquartered at Polaris House, North Star Avenue, Swindon. The tender, titled "CSP25467 - Maritime Cranes," falls under the goods category for harbour cranes, specifically aiming for the supply of swing jib lifting davits. The procurement was carried out using a direct method without competition, due to technical reasons, with Maritime Cranes and Components Ltd as the designated supplier. The contract was officially signed on 13th October 2025, initiating its term on 14th October 2025 and concluding on 30th April 2026. The delivery addresses cover multiple regions across the United Kingdom, ensuring wide-ranging coverage for the goods.

This tender offers limited business growth opportunities due to its direct award method, specifically benefited by suppliers with niche expertise and exclusive capabilities. Businesses equipped to meet technical specifications and capable of supplying innovative maritime crane solutions could find similar future procurements advantageous. SME suppliers, particularly those within the central regions of the UK, would be well-suited to compete in similar niches due to logistical advantages and proximity to relevant markets.
