UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation has concluded a procurement process for the supply of a Roscamat Dragon RHM tapping arm, along with accessories and a mounting table, to its facility in Swindon, United Kingdom. The contract, identified by "CSP26254", was awarded on 9th March 2026 and is active until 31st August 2026. This procurement falls under the category of machine tools within the goods sector, and the process was conducted directly without competition due to technical reasons that permit only a particular supplier. Cotswold Machinery Sales Ltd was the sole entity supplying the goods, valued at £12,984 gross.

This tender opens opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced technical equipment supply, particularly those with expertise in machine tools. While this particular contract was directly awarded, understanding such needs can help similar companies anticipate future requirements from government bodies like UK Research and Innovation, potentially leading to direct awards or becoming pre-qualified suppliers for technically specific procurements. Large-scale suppliers with niche expertise and the capability to meet specialised demands would be well-positioned to engage in similar opportunities.
