UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation, a central government public authority, has concluded the procurement process for the "CSP26315-R6 Sub 18 Switchboard Extension" project. This process, classified under laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, was conducted without competition due to the unique technical needs that only one supplier could fulfil. The buyer, located in Swindon, United Kingdom, asserted the necessity for a direct procurement method. The tender was awarded to Morris Line Engineering Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise based in Bridgend, United Kingdom. The contract is active, with a term commencing on 6th March 2026 and scheduled to conclude by 6th July 2026, with a gross value amounting to £18,979.20.

This tender highlights opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory and precision equipment, especially those capable of addressing specific technical requirements. Although direct procurement restricts competition, such procurement processes can open doors for niche suppliers with unique capabilities. Companies positioned to deliver customised solutions and cater to specialised industrial needs will find such tenders promising for business growth. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in this field, like Morris Line Engineering Ltd, demonstrate how catering to specific government requirements can lead to successful contract awards.
