Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has concluded a procurement process for the supply of Media Tapes, targeting the public authority sector under central government. This award notice signifies the completion of a limited competition procurement exercise falling below the threshold. The contract, titled "DDaT26168- Media Tapes," was active on the contract award date of 6th March 2026 with an effective start date of 7th March 2026, running until 6th June 2026. The contract, valued at £38,593.44 excluding VAT, was awarded to Eurotec Distribution Ltd T/A Media Resources.
