UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

In the recent procurement process completed by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), located at Polaris House, Swindon, Wiltshire, a contract was awarded for a spectrum analyser, with the process concluding on 15th January 2026. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically within the field of spectrum analysers. The procurement method utilised was 'limited,' suitable for purchases below the threshold, ensuring a streamlined competition. The contract, with a gross value of £50,957.36, was signed on 15th January 2026, and its implementation period runs from 16th January 2026 to 5th March 2026. This procurement was primarily driven by the legal mandate outlined in the UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in the manufacture or supply of electronic testing and measurement equipment, especially those offering advanced spectrum analysers. Such businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Rohde and Schwarz UK Ltd, which successfully secured this contract, can leverage these opportunities to expand their operations within the UK government sector. Engaging in this type of contractual work could provide visibility within the industry and pave the way for future collaborations with central government entities such as UKRI.
