UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for a three-year annual service contract for the V8 shaker was completed without competition by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), a central UK government public authority. The procurement method was direct due to the absence of competition for technical reasons, whereby only a specific supplier, HOTTINGER BRUEL & KJAER UK LTD, could provide the necessary services. The service contract, valued at £21,794.82 (net) and active from 6th July 2026 to 5th July 2029, focuses on repair and maintenance services of precision equipment, with the main delivery location being in the UK. The buying organisation is based in Swindon, United Kingdom, and the contract details were published on 21st July 2026.

This service contract presents opportunities primarily for businesses specialising in technical maintenance and precision equipment services. Firms already operating in the repair and maintenance industry of complex machinery would find this contract particularly attractive due to its specific requirements and the clear scope of work outlined. Although the contract was awarded without competitive bidding, businesses similar to the awarded supplier could explore potential future opportunities with UKRI by showcasing their technical expertise and ability to meet specialised service needs. Such contracts play a significant role in business growth as they highlight the importance of niche market capabilities in public procurement strategies.
