The project is titled "UKRI-6175 Submersible Data Logger" and falls under the "goods" category, specifically for submersible pumps. It was completed with a direct procurement method, below threshold and without competition. The contract was awarded to RS Aqua Ltd, a large firm based in Portsmouth. The procurement stage is at the "contract award" stage, having been awarded on 23rd June 2026, with a completion date by 31st July 2026. The project started on 24th June 2026, and the contract has a gross value of £58,218.
