Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process is led by UK Research and Innovation, located at Polaris House, North Star Avenue, Swindon, UK. The contract, titled "CSP25726 - Lab consumables", falls under the goods category, specifically laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. The procurement was conducted as a direct, below-threshold process without competition, due to the technical necessity for a specific supplier, King's College London. The status of this procurement is marked as complete, with the contract starting and ending on 19th and 20th December 2025, respectively. The overall contract value stands at GBP 20,435.30.

This contract presents business growth opportunities for suppliers specialised in laboratory goods. Companies with expertise in precision equipment might benefit from networking and establishing partnerships with large institutions like King's College London, already designated as the supplier. While direct competition was absent in this case, understanding the needs and standards of UK Research and Innovation could position businesses well for future opportunities. This is especially relevant for those in the central government’s supply chain or those aiming to break into similar high-value, technical procurement markets.
