Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement document describes the completed contract process led by UK Research and Innovation for the provision of process controllers, specifically Eurotherm temperature controllers, utilised across ISIS. The procurement was handled by UK Shared Business Services Ltd, located in Swindon, UK. The contract was notably awarded to Eurotherm Ltd under a direct procurement method due to the lack of competitive alternatives for the specific technical requirements. The award was completed in October 2025, with the contract period spanning from 10th to 16th October 2025, and a total contract value of £13,117.68, inclusive of taxes. This tender falls under the industrial process control equipment category, covering deliveries within the UK.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in industrial control equipment, particularly those capable of offering specialised technical solutions. However, given the direct procurement route without competition, opportunities may be limited unless similar technical exclusivity exists for future tenders. Companies with expertise in cutting-edge process control technologies and proven capabilities in fulfilling unique or niche technical requirements could potentially benefit from engaging with central government procurements or similar authority awards to establish stronger ties for future bidding opportunities.
