UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The contract titled "CSP26569 - DP Attendance" was conducted by UK Research and Innovation, headquartered at Polaris House, Swindon. This procurement pertains to the services industry, specifically travel services, and was executed in the UK region. The process has reached the 'Award' stage, with the contract awarded to STONE MARINE SERVICES LIMITED on 29th June 2026, following a direct procurement method due to technical constraints. The contract is valued at £13,065 and is in active status, covering a brief period from 29th to 30th June 2026.

This contract exemplifies how businesses capable of offering niche services, such as specialised travel arrangements, can find growth opportunities within public procurement. Particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like STONE MARINE SERVICES LIMITED, securing such direct contracts can markedly enhance business exposure and stability. Companies that deliver unique or hard-to-source services stand to benefit significantly from similar procurement opportunities that arise from a lack of market competition.
