UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "CSP25540 - Alterations to new & Old switch panels" was concluded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) without competition due to technical reasons, as only a particular supplier could fulfil the requirements. This process, classified under works, involved direct procurement below the threshold, bypassing the competitive bidding typically required. The project is located in the United Kingdom and the procurement process is in the award stage, with the contract having started on 4th November 2025 and set to end on 30th April 2026. This contract includes installation of cable infrastructure under CPV classification 45314300, and it was awarded to Falcon Electrical Engineering Ltd., an SME based in the Falkland Islands.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in electrical engineering and infrastructure enhancements. As the contract was awarded without competition due to its unique technical requirements, it highlights the potential for firms that can demonstrate specialised expertise or unique capabilities to secure similar contracts. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) like Falcon Electrical Engineering Ltd. could particularly benefit from positioning themselves as niche solution providers, offering innovative and tailored technical solutions to meet the specific needs of central government authorities such as UKRI.
