Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "CSP26637 - Battery Cells" was conducted by UK Research and Innovation, a central government public authority located in Swindon, United Kingdom. This contract, which is for the supply of FNC Battery cells, was awarded directly without competition because only a specific supplier could meet the technical requirements. The procurement falls under the industry category of goods, specifically batteries (CPV: 31440000), and covers the delivery within the UK. The contract, valued at £12,971.75, is active from 1st July 2026 through 30th November 2026, with the contract being signed on 30th June 2026.

This tender offers an opportunity primarily for suppliers of specialised battery technology, especially those capable of fulfilling bespoke technical demands with limited competition. Companies like HOPPECKE INDUSTRIAL BATTERIES LIMITED, which was awarded the contract, are well-suited to such opportunities, provided they can demonstrate unique technical capabilities.
