UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the project titled "CSP26125 - Acoustic Telecommand Unit" has been completed by UK Research and Innovation, a central governmental authority, located in Swindon, United Kingdom. This contract is classified under the goods industry category and was awarded through a direct procurement method without competition, as technical reasons precluded the possibility of competitive tender. The contract was signed with the supplier Exail SAS on 28th May 2026, with the period of performance starting from 1st June 2026 to 31st March 2027, covering deliveries within the United Kingdom.

This tender presents limited opportunities for business growth as it was concluded without competition due to lack of technical alternatives. However, similar future opportunities might favour businesses with innovative, specialised technical capabilities in the realm of acoustic devices. Large enterprises that specialise in manufacturing high-precision acoustic equipment and have a strong research and development foundation could benefit from exploring partnership opportunities or technological advancements that can position them for comparable tenders.
