Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation has concluded a procurement process for the project titled "CSP26320 - Microchip Remanufacture" in the goods category. Located in Swindon, United Kingdom, the buying organisation operates within the central government. On 13th March 2026, the procurement was officially awarded via a direct method, below the threshold, without competition due to technical reasons, indicating a lack of alternative suppliers for the required goods. The contract was signed on 9th March 2026 and spans until 23rd July 2026.

This procurement presents business growth opportunities for entities within the electronic and integrated circuits industry, especially those capable of remanufacturing microchips. With the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits serving as the supplier, large-scale businesses with technical expertise in microchip solutions are strategically positioned to engage with similar future contracts and leverage their specialised capabilities. Businesses seeking to expand into technical remanufacture services should monitor such direct procurement opportunities for potential collaboration and market development.
