Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process, managed by UK Research and Innovation, has focused on acquiring heater and soldering iron tips. The project is categorised under miscellaneous equipment and is located in the United Kingdom, specifically with delivery arrangements across the region. The procurement has moved to the award stage as of October 2025, with Tekdata Interconnections Ltd as the successful supplier. The total contract value reaches £13,244.40 including VAT, covering the period from 24th to 29th October 2025. This process was a direct award without competition due to technical reasons, conducted under the legal framework UKPGA 2023/54.

This procurement presents a potential avenue of growth for businesses specialising in the supply of technical equipment like heater and soldering iron tips. Although this opportunity was awarded directly due to the lack of competitive availability, it signifies an ongoing need in the central government sector that companies can prepare to meet in future cycles. Businesses with expertise in specialised manufacturing and a focus on high-quality component supply may find similar future opportunities lucrative, especially those capable of satisfying stringent technical specifications.
