UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process conducted by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) involved the acquisition of switching units for modulators to be incorporated into an existing system. This tender falls under the electrical apparatus industry category, targeting goods related to switching or protecting electrical circuits. UKRI, a central government public authority located at Polaris House, Swindon, Wiltshire, was responsible for the procurement. The process culminated in the award stage, with the contract dated 11 December 2025, and a contract period running from 12 December 2025 to 31 July 2026. The procurement method used was direct, below the threshold and without competition, emphasising a straightforward approach without an open tender process.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in electrical apparatus, particularly those capable of supplying switching units. Given the direct procurement method employed, businesses that maintain strong relationships with public authorities or have a reputation for providing reliable modulators could find opportunities for growth. Suppliers like small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) such as ScandiNova Systems Group AB, which won the tender, would be ideal candidates for such contracts. This opens potential avenues for SMEs striving to make inroads into the UK market by demonstrating expertise and reliability in delivering specialised electrical goods.
