UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process described pertains to the buying organisation, UK Research and Innovation, and involves a direct procurement method for replacing an HP5 Compressor. Classified under the industry category of compressors and related parts, this procurement falls within the public authority sector of central government. The procurement process has completed the award stage, with Mitsubishi Electric Europe B.V. being the chosen supplier. The contracting process was finalised on 8th October 2025, with active contract dates spanning from 23rd to 26th October 2025. The location for delivery is within the United Kingdom, specifically in the Swindon area.

This tender is a clear opportunity for companies specialised in mechanical engineering, particularly those dealing with compressors and compressor components, to understand how direct procurement processes can unfold. Although competition was not applicable due to technical constraints, businesses with similar specialised offerings and existing relationships with public entities could find potential pathways to growth by leveraging such niche demands. Large-scale suppliers, akin to Mitsubishi Electric Europe B.V., with capabilities in servicing and maintaining critical technological systems, are particularly well-positioned to capitalize on non-competitive procurement due to technical specifications.
