UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation, a central government public authority, has successfully completed a procurement process to acquire a "Load and Coupler" from Spinner GmbH for test work. Located in Swindon, United Kingdom, UK Research and Innovation executed this procurement under a direct procurement method due to its below-threshold status, not requiring competition. This process has now progressed to the contract stage, with the contract being signed on 6th February 2026 and set to run until 6th May 2026. The procuring entity, UK Shared Business Services Ltd, facilitated the procurement, which falls under the goods category related to electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment, and consumables.

This procurement tender offers business growth opportunities primarily for companies specialising in electrical equipment and machinery. With a focus on test work equipment, businesses that manufacture or supply such goods, particularly SMEs like Spinner GmbH, may find relevant opportunities in similar future tenders. As the procurement method allowed for a limited competition exercise, this scenario could present significant potential for businesses that can deliver niche products under specific requirements set by central government entities. Engaging in such contracts with a major authority like UK Research and Innovation may also enhance business reputations and open doors to further public sector contracts.
