UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) bought custom Scan 3XS WRX90E AMD high-performance, rack-mountable lab workstations. This is a computer equipment supply requirement for laboratory use, delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement was structured as a single lot.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. UKRI used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Scan Computers International Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 2 October 2026 and runs from 5 October to 7 December 2026. Its value is £34,400 excluding VAT (£41,280 including VAT).

For suppliers seeking similar UKRI work, this award shows demand for specialist laboratory computing hardware rather than general IT support. A credible competitor would need to source or configure high-performance AMD WRX90E workstation systems in rack-mountable form and supply them for laboratory use. The selected supplier is a computer equipment business, indicating that relevant product supply and configuration capability are central to this requirement. UKRI used a direct award without competition for this below-threshold purchase, so the outcome also demonstrates that this requirement was met through a non-competitive route.
