UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a central government public authority based in Swindon, Wiltshire, has completed the procurement process for a project titled "UKRI-5426 Cooling System". This project, under the industry category of goods, involved the acquisition of an ultra-low vibration cooling system, specifically gas cooling systems. The contract was awarded following a limited procurement method, which was below threshold and involved limited competition. The award phase has been active since 20th November 2025, following the contract signing on 18th November 2025, with the project slated to complete by 31st March 2026. The entire contract is valued at USD 113,979.6, with Cold Edge Tech from the United States winning the contract as the supplier.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in advanced cooling systems within the goods sector. Companies experienced in delivering low vibration cooling technologies, particularly those capable of operating effectively within limited competition environments, are well-suited to compete for such contracts. Engaging with UKRI can be instrumental in establishing sector credibility and gaining further business opportunities within similar government tenders. Given the technical nature of the requirement, organisations with a strong engineering background and the ability to develop bespoke cooling solutions stand a notable chance of success in similar procurements.
