Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by UK Research and Innovation and facilitated through UK Shared Business Services Ltd, pertains to the maintenance of ships, specifically under the contract titled "CSP26605 - SEA/SD-3328 MARSUP". This process falls under the category of services related to repair and maintenance, and the geographical area of focus is the United Kingdom, with Swindon being the central location for addresses involved. The contracting procedure followed a direct award method without competition due to specific requirements, notably the rectification of a rudder system fault by KONGSBERG MARITIME, the supplier. The contract was concluded outside regular competitive processes, aligning with a below-threshold procurement method. The contract period spans from 15th June 2026 to 12th August 2026, with a gross contract value of £22,654.

This tender represents an opportunity primarily for businesses specialising in ship maintenance and repair services, given the nature of the work involved. Companies with expertise in maritime engineering and existing capacity to manage such repairs efficiently would find desirable potential for growth through contracts of this nature, especially those uncomplicated by competition. Although KONGSBERG MARITIME, a large-scale supplier, has been awarded this specific contract, the strategic implications suggest that similar future opportunities may arise, encouraging firms within related sectors to establish connections with central government agencies like UKRI for prospective contract engagements.
