UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), located in Swindon, Wiltshire, has completed a procurement process for printed circuit boards (PCBs) under tender UKRI-5916. This contract falls within the industry category of goods and was awarded to PCB Europe GMBH, based in Stevenage. The procurement stage has reached completion with a contract period from 10 March 2026 to 29 May 2026. This limited competition process was conducted below the procurement threshold, ensuring that the acquisition method adhered to legal guidelines as per UKPGA 2023/54. Relevant key dates include a contract signing on 10 March 2026 and the publication of the contract details notice on 17 March 2026.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in the manufacturing and supply of populated printed circuit boards, as evidenced by its CPV classification. Large-scale enterprises, particularly those with the capability to meet the intricacies of procurement contracts below the threshold, are well-positioned to benefit and compete in such processes. Engaging with public authorities like UKRI could significantly enhance business portfolios and align them with governmental projects. Moreover, competing in limited competitive tendering opens doors to strengthen partnerships within the UK's central government sector.
