Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation, operating as a central government public authority from Swindon, UK, has concluded a public procurement contract identified as "DDaT26288 - Hardware" under a direct procurement method. The procurement process was executed without competition due to specific technical reasons, involving the supply of hardware by D-Tacq Solutions Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Blantyre, UK. The contract covers the supply of electrical machinery and consumables, with the procurement process completed on 13 May 2026. The contract period is from 7 May to 7 September 2026, valued at £11,300 (net of VAT), and managed by UK Shared Business Services Ltd.
