UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "CSP26618 - Paramo-Salopettes" was conducted by UK Research and Innovation, a public authority under central government, based in Swindon, UK. This contract belongs to the Arctic clothing and equipment industry category and involves the supply of goods. The procurement method was direct and classified as below threshold, without competition, due to a lack of alternatives for the specialised goods required. The contract, active from 22nd June 2026 to 31st July 2026, was awarded to Paramo Limited, suggesting specialist supply capabilities and technical niche market conditions. The entire process culminated with the publication of contract details on the 25th of June, 2026.

This tender presents growth opportunities primarily for businesses that specialise in niche manufacturing and supply of technical clothing and equipment, specifically tailored to meet demanding environmental conditions. Paramo Limited, as the awarded supplier, illustrates the necessity for specialised expertise and unique product availability. Firms looking to expand into government contracts might find inspiration in developing unique offerings that align with specific government department requirements and are less likely to encounter competition on the basis of exclusivity and technical necessity.
