UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), a central government authority in Swindon, United Kingdom, has completed a procurement process for purchasing IR heaters for the ISP 1005 IMAT furnace. This procurement was conducted through a direct, below-threshold method without competition due to the specific technical requirements that only a single supplier, Precision Control Systems Inc, could meet. The contract was awarded on 25th November 2025 and remains active until 9th February 2026, with the total gross value amounting to USD 18,009. The supply of goods involved air heaters and delivery within the UK. The notice of the contract was published on the 27th of November, 2025.

This procurement offers limited business growth opportunities, as it was directly awarded due to the lack of alternative suppliers capable of fulfilling the technical demands. Businesses that manufacture specialised industrial heating equipment, particularly IR heaters, could have the potential to compete in similar tenders, provided they meet unique specifications. Such opportunities are best suited for versatile businesses capable of innovating in niche technical products to respond to specific governmental needs.
