UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "UKRI-5694 Data Acquisition Card" was conducted by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a central government public authority based in Swindon, Wiltshire, United Kingdom. This process focused on acquiring equipment within the specialised industry category of testing and measuring apparatus. The contract, initiated through a limited procurement method due to its below-threshold nature, was finalised with Advanced Embedded Solutions Ltd, a supplier based in Christchurch, United Kingdom. The contract was signed on 5th February 2026, with its active period running until 24th July 2026; however, the process has now reached the stage of contract termination as of 9th July 2026. Despite completion, a formal contract termination notice was published confirming the conclusion of the agreement.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for businesses engaged in supplying niche, high-precision measuring and testing apparatus. Companies that characterise themselves as small to medium-sized enterprises, similar to Advanced Embedded Solutions Ltd, and those capable of providing sophisticated data acquisition solutions for existing systems will find opportunities in such targeted public sector procurements. The procurement favours firms that can thrive in limited competition settings, thus opening doors for those with niche expertise and robust product solutions to engage with major governmental organisations like UKRI.
