Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by UK Research and Innovation, involves the acquisition of a new tensioner for a second magnet winding machine and falls under the "Machines and apparatus for testing and measuring" industry category. This contract was awarded without competition due to technical reasons, as only Winding Services Ltd was capable of meeting the procurement requirements. The procurement was conducted using the direct method, below the threshold for competitive tendering, with the contract value set at £24,960 gross (£20,800 net). The contract period is from 17th December 2025 to 22nd December 2025, and the location is within the United Kingdom.

This tender represents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in manufacturing or supplying technical machinery, especially those able to offer bespoke solutions or improvements in existing machinery such as tensioners.
