UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured a hardware memory upgrade for a new infrastructure server. The requirement is for memory modules to increase or complete the server’s memory capacity. The procurement was managed by UK Shared Business Services Ltd on UKRI’s behalf. The work concerns the supply and delivery of server hardware for UK public-sector research infrastructure, with delivery stated as being in the United Kingdom. This is a goods requirement rather than a software development, consultancy or construction opportunity. Suppliers operating in server hardware, memory modules, data-centre equipment and infrastructure upgrades would be the closest commercial match. The requirement was handled as a single procurement lot.

The procurement has been completed following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 2 September 2026 and awarded on 3 September 2026 to Teqex Ltd. The awarded contract value is £18,400 excluding VAT, or £22,080 including VAT. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 2 December 2026. The award covers the single lot for the memory upgrade. The stated procurement route was limited competition rather than an open tender, and the published outcome identifies the selected supplier. The contract is active, while the tender itself is recorded as complete. No separate award values or additional suppliers are recorded.

This outcome demonstrates demand from UK Research and Innovation for discrete server-memory hardware to support new infrastructure. A credible future competitor would need to source and supply compatible memory modules, understand server specifications and capacity requirements, and provide reliable hardware procurement and fulfilment. Technical accuracy will matter: suppliers should be able to verify compatibility with the target infrastructure, avoid incorrect or unsuitable components, and manage delivery of physical equipment to a UK public-sector customer. The requirement is suited to businesses focused on enterprise hardware, server components, data-centre infrastructure or specialist technology distribution. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that the scale and route can be accessible to smaller specialist hardware providers.
