UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process led by the Northern Lighthouse Board, based in Edinburgh, has reached its completion stage for the tender titled "Low Power Timers and Transmitters." This tender falls under the industry category of goods, specifically involving items like time registers, process timers, and radio transmitter repair services. The procurement was conducted using a direct method, below the threshold and without competition, with the contract awarded on 6th July 2026. Key delivery locations include the NLB depot in Edinburgh, UK. The buying organisation is a central government public authority, and the procurement process and contract were governed under the legal framework of the UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender presents growth opportunities for companies specializing in electronic components manufacturing and suppliers of evaluation or testing instruments. Businesses such as SMEs, like Lee-Dickens Ltd—one of the suppliers—are ideal candidates for similar tenders, given their expertise in supplying low power timers and transmitters to specific industrial specifications. The contract, valued at £30,175.20 gross, ran from 6th July 2026 to 30th September 2026, with potential for future tenders as NLB manages ongoing lighthouse requirements. Such procurement opportunities enable businesses to expand their client base within the public sector and reinforce their market presence in the UK.
