Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) initiated the procurement process for the contract titled "UKRI-5873 Complete DAQ chain for Liquid Detectors."

The process reached the contract termination stage on 16 June 2026, with the contract status being mutually terminated. The procurement was managed under legal basis 2023/54, delivered through a direct award due to absence of competition for technical reasons. The predominant activities were situated in the United Kingdom, with the final implementation concluded by the end of March 2026. The industry category associated with this procurement falls under "Machines and apparatus for testing and measuring," identified by the CPV code 38540000.

This contract presented significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses capable of developing intricate electronic systems for data acquisition. The tender process utilised a Single Source Direct Award method, thus being more suitable for businesses that offer unique technical solutions or have established collaborative relationships with UKRI. Organisations focusing on scientific equipment production and suppliers with specialised expertise in data acquisition systems for liquid detectors could have been well-suited to compete for this opportunity.
