Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process carried out by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) involved contracting for "DDaT26300 - Long Lead Chips" within the hardware industry category. This process, completed on 22nd June 2026, followed a limited competition method under UK legal framework 2023/54. The buying organisation, UKRI, based in Swindon, carried out the process through UK Shared Business Services Ltd, with the procurement now at the Award stage. The contract, signed on 11th June 2026, will run until 10th June 2027 and is valued at approximately USD 28,891.18, with execution taking place within the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents ample business growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale suppliers in the electronics and hardware sectors like ARROW ELECTRONICS LIMITED, which secured the contract. Engaging in such limited competition tenders allows businesses with specialised capacities to enhance their market presence and forge partnerships with prominent public authorities. Companies with a strong supply chain and expertise in delivering electronics hardware are well-positioned to compete effectively in similar future procurement processes initiated by central government entities.
