UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "CSP25522 - Tek Scope Upgrade" was managed by UK Research and Innovation, a central government public authority located in Swindon, United Kingdom. This specific tender falls under the industry category of goods, primarily concerning the supply of oscilloscopes and related repair and maintenance services. The procurement stage was marked as 'Award', with the contract being signed on 26th October 2025 and active from 27th October 2025 to 30th October 2025. Notably, the procurement was conducted through a direct method, below the threshold, and without competition due to the absence of competitive suppliers capable of fulfilling the project's technical requirements.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in technical upgrades and maintenance services, particularly those focused on scientific equipment like oscilloscopes. Companies similar in scope and capability to Tektronix UK Ltd, the awarded supplier and an SME, would find competitive advantages in such contracts, particularly when unique technical competencies are required. This scenario highlights prospects for businesses within the high-tech equipment industry to cater to central government needs by offering specialised solutions that may not be widely available, thereby supporting their growth and exposure within the public sector market.
