UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured hardware under the requirement titled DDaT26384 - Hardware. The purchase falls within goods, specifically office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies, excluding furniture and software packages. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement as the shared service provider for UKRI. Delivery covers multiple areas of the United Kingdom, including locations across England. The requirement is relevant to businesses supplying workplace hardware, computing equipment and associated office technology at organisational scale. It is a single hardware requirement rather than a stated works or professional services contract, and the procurement was managed by a public-sector research and innovation organisation.

This procurement has been completed following a below-threshold limited competition. The tender reached complete status and one supplier, Getech Ltd, was awarded the single lot. The award was made on 23 July 2026, and the contract was signed on 23 July 2026. The contract runs from 24 July 2026 to 24 August 2026. Its value is £55,298 excluding VAT, or £66,357 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome records the selected supplier and the contract period for the hardware requirement. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition route rather than an open procedure.

This outcome indicates demand from UK Research and Innovation for a supplier able to provide office and computing hardware across multiple UK delivery areas. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a dependable supply chain for hardware and computing equipment, the operational capacity to fulfil deliveries across the relevant locations, and the ability to manage a public-sector limited competition. The awarded supplier is recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement was accessible to a smaller business rather than limited to a major systems integrator. Businesses with proven hardware distribution, reliable fulfilment, public-sector tendering experience and the ability to supply equipment without software or furniture should monitor this buyer’s comparable requirements.
