In this public procurement process, UK Research and Innovation, a central government authority based in Swindon, United Kingdom, has issued a contract titled "CSP26668 - Central Lubrication on Gentry" under the industry category of services. The procurement was conducted through a direct method without competition, as it was concluded that only a specific supplier, Kongsberg Maritime AS, could fulfil the technical requirements.
