UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured NQCC TAQC interlock system boards, classified as electronic equipment. The requirement is for goods supporting the National Quantum Computing Centre’s TAQC interlock system. Delivery is within the United Kingdom. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement on behalf of UK Research and Innovation. The procurement covered one lot and was awarded to Frazer-Nash Manufacturing Limited, an SME based in Petersfield. This is a specialist electronics supply requirement rather than a general professional services or construction opportunity, so it is most relevant to manufacturers and suppliers able to produce or source system boards for research, technology or other technically demanding environments.

The procurement is complete and was concluded through a below-threshold limited competition. It was evaluated on price, and Frazer-Nash Manufacturing Limited received the award for the single lot. The contract was signed on 9 July 2026 and awarded on the same date. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 August 2026. Its value is £17,730 excluding VAT, or £21,276 including VAT. The contract is active and the award is active. This is a contract details outcome from a limited competition rather than a new invitation to tender, so the procurement decision has already been made and the requirement is no longer at the bidding stage.

This award indicates a defined requirement for electronic system boards supporting a quantum-computing research environment, with price as the deciding factor in the competition. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this type would have practical capability in electronic equipment manufacture, board production or integration, and the quality controls needed to deliver specialist hardware reliably. Experience of supplying research, advanced technology or other technically controlled environments would help demonstrate credibility, although the published outcome identifies price as the evaluation basis rather than a wider scored methodology. The fact that an SME won the requirement suggests that businesses of this scale can compete, provided they can meet the technical specification, manufacture or source the boards, and deliver within a short contract period.
