UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured calibration services for Hyper-12 units. The requirement covers the specialist calibration of these units, classified under IT services including consulting, software development, internet and support. The work is associated with UK-wide delivery. UK Research and Innovation is the buyer, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd managing the procurement as its shared service provider. This is a technical services requirement for businesses able to calibrate and support Hyper-12 units, rather than a general IT support or software development contract. The procurement was handled for the buyer by its commercial and shared-services functions, while the selected supplier is based in Torrington, Devon.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Prosig Ltd. The award date was 7 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 8 August 2026 to 8 October 2026. Its value is £20,835 excluding VAT, or £25,002 including VAT. The procurement used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, because the buyer stated that there were no reasonable alternatives to the required goods, services or works. The tender comprised one completed lot. Prosig Ltd holds the active award and contract. This was a contract-details outcome, not a competitive call for suppliers, so no bid evaluation competition took place.

This award shows demand from UK Research and Innovation for specialist calibration of Hyper-12 units, delivered within a short, defined service period and procured directly where the buyer considered there were no reasonable alternatives. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable technical capability to calibrate and support Hyper-12 units, with the specialist knowledge and equipment needed to deliver the service reliably. The selected supplier, Prosig Ltd, is recorded as an SME, indicating that this requirement can be met by a focused specialist business rather than only a large systems integrator. Relevant firms should be able to evidence experience with the specific units, understand calibration requirements and provide support across the United Kingdom. The procurement route also indicates that demonstrating unique capability or lack of reasonable alternatives could be commercially important.
