UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process managed by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) involves the replacement of a loadlock component of an outgassing system, titled "UKRI-5910 Loadlock Outgassing System Replacement." Categorised under miscellaneous special-purpose machinery, this procurement aligns with the industry classification for goods. It's situated in Swindon, Wiltshire, with the procurement stage marked as complete as of 8th April 2026. The direct procurement method was employed, selected specifically due to the need for a part only available from SCANWEL LIMITED without competition, ensuring compatibility with the existing system. The contract was signed on 2nd March 2026, covering a period until 31st March 2026.

This tender offers limited business growth opportunities, primarily benefiting businesses capable of supplying highly specialised machinery directly. Since the procurement is below threshold and executed without competition, the tender suits large suppliers with unique manufacturing capabilities, such as SCANWEL LIMITED, that can produce custom compatible components with existing systems. Companies with expertise in precise engineering and the capacity to deliver bespoke solutions are particularly well-suited for such procurements.
