Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation, a central government public authority located in Swindon, has recently completed a procurement process labelled 'CSP26365 - PolaRx5S FULL' involving the supply of radio and radar equipment components. The procurement, initiated without competition, was conducted through a direct method as it fell below the competitive threshold. The contracting stage is marked as complete, with the award active and the associated contract beginning on 20 March 2026 and concluding on 3 April 2026. Parties involve UK Shared Business Services Ltd as the procuring entity, and Chronos Technology Limited, based in Lydbrook, as the supplier. This procurement falls within the goods category, focusing on parts of radio and radar equipment.

This tender presents potential growth opportunities for enterprises involved in specialised technology supply chains—specifically those dealing with radio and radar equipment. Although the procurement was conducted without competition, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with niche expertise in these areas might be preferable candidates for similar future procurements. Companies should especially consider engaging with UK Research and Innovation for upcoming projects that require precision in technological components for research and development purposes. Chronos Technology Limited’s engagement as a supplier highlights opportunities for UK-based distributors to establish or strengthen their relationships with prominent government institutions.
