UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involves UK Research and Innovation as the buying organisation and is centred around the acquisition of a Rhodium-Iron Resistance Sensor. Taking place in Swindon, United Kingdom, within the central government public authority sector, the procurement falls under the industry category of goods, specifically resistors. The procurement was conducted through a direct method without competition, highlighting that there were no reasonable alternatives for these goods. The process has now reached the award stage and was completed on 17th June 2026, with an active contract starting on 17th June 2026 and ending on 30th November 2026. The total contract value is £24,201.60, with a net value of £20,168.00 in GBP.

Opportunities for business growth through this tender would primarily benefit companies involved in the manufacturing and supply of scientific equipment, specifically those producing high-precision resistance sensors. Large-scale suppliers like Oxford Nanoscience Limited, which is the supplier awarded this contract, are well-suited to compete due to the specialised nature of the products and services required. Although the procurement was concluded without competition, similar future tenders in this domain could present opportunities for businesses that offer unique, industry-specific expertise and products that meet the technical specifications outlined by organisations such as UK Research and Innovation.
