UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contract titled "CSP25766 - HiCube Neo RGA" was managed by UK Research and Innovation, a central government public authority based in Swindon, United Kingdom. This process pertains to the supply and delivery of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. Concluding on 19th January 2026, this procurement was carried out through a limited competition under the legal framework set by the UK Parliament in 2023. The contract was awarded to Busch (UK) Ltd on 15th January 2026 and is set to be active until 30th June 2026. The entire contract is valued at £32,280 gross.

This tender process presents opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of laboratory and precision equipment. Particularly, SMEs equipped to provide specialized goods within a competitive pricing range could greatly benefit from such contracts. The procurement method, whilst limited in competition, suggests that specialised skill or equipment capability, rather than the volume, could secure such government contracts, thereby offering niche suppliers a pathway to expand their operations through public procurement.
