Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), headquartered at Polaris House in Swindon, is the buying organisation for the procurement titled "UKRI-5453 CAEN Negative 24 Channel High Voltage Cards." This contract falls under the category of electrical machinery and consumables, with the process having reached the award and contract stage as of 24th November 2025. The procurement method was direct and was conducted below the threshold without competition. The supplier, KC Scientific, a small to medium-sized enterprise from Caversham, has been engaged to provide the specified high-voltage cards. The contract is set to commence on 25th November 2025 and will conclude on 22nd February 2026, with a total value of £32,725.00, excluding applicable taxes.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in electrical equipment supply, particularly those dealing with high-voltage cards and related apparatus.
