UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ofcom, a sub-central government public authority in the United Kingdom, has completed a direct procurement process without competition for the supply of tuneable microwave K&L bandpass filters, primarily to address 5G interference resolution issues. The contract, awarded to RFMW UK Limited, was legally backed by the UKPGA 2023/54 legislation. The process falls under the goods category, with a contract period from 2nd February 2026 to 30th April 2026, valued at £43,445. The procurement method was below the threshold, and the corresponding contract was signed on 11th August 2025.

This procurement presents significant opportunities, particularly for SMEs operating in the field of radiotelephony or radiotelegraphy apparatus, like RFMW UK Limited. Businesses that specialise in developing or supplying communication and radio frequency components, especially those with innovative solutions for mitigating interference in new telecommunication technologies such as 5G, are well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. Proximity to London, where Ofcom is based, might also be beneficial for entities seeking closer collaboration with the regulating authority.
