UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Exeter bought a STRYDE 90 Node Laptop System for seismic acquisition and environmental intelligence research. The equipment supports research activities in the UK and Kenya and falls within the seismic equipment category. The requirement was for goods rather than construction or consultancy services. The buying organisation is the University of Exeter, based in Exeter, and the work supported by the system spans the UK and Kenya. The selected supplier, STRYDE Limited, is a small or medium-sized enterprise specialising in the supplied system. This requirement is relevant to manufacturers, authorised suppliers and specialist technology businesses able to provide seismic acquisition equipment for research use across these locations.

The procurement has been completed and the contract is active. The University of Exeter used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for one lot. STRYDE Limited was awarded the contract on 2 June 2026, and the contract was signed on 2 June 2026. Its value is USD 26,758.63. The contract runs from 3 June 2026 to 3 June 2027. The awarded requirement covers the STRYDE 90 Node Laptop System and seismic equipment. The award remains active, while the tender is recorded as complete. The procurement was conducted under the legal basis identified as the Procurement Act 2023.

This award provides a clear indication that the University of Exeter uses specialist seismic acquisition technology to support environmental intelligence and research activity in the UK and Kenya. Businesses considering future work with this buyer would need credible capability to supply a complete STRYDE 90 Node Laptop System or comparable seismic acquisition equipment, rather than general-purpose laptops or unrelated research technology. Relevant suppliers are likely to include seismic equipment manufacturers, specialist distributors, authorised technology partners and businesses able to support research users working across more than one country. The requirement also shows demand at a focused, single-system scale, making it particularly relevant to specialist SMEs with a defined seismic technology offer.
