UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) bought calibration services for 158 accelerometers used in Ariel testing. The work concerns calibration of test equipment, rather than supply of new accelerometers, and was procured as a single requirement. UKRI is the buying organisation. The contracting data does not identify a delivery location, so the work cannot be tied to a particular site from the available description.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. UKRI used a below-threshold limited competition for a single lot. Calibration, Maintenance and Repair Ltd was selected for the contract. The award was made on 26 October 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The contract runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £27,534.50 excluding VAT (£33,041.40 including VAT). The requirement was for calibration of 158 accelerometers previously used in Ariel testing; no award criteria or detailed evaluation basis are stated in the contracting information.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need to demonstrate the technical capability and capacity to calibrate a batch of 158 accelerometers used in testing, and to complete the work within a defined contract period. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this scale of specialist service can be delivered by an SME. UKRI used a limited competition for this below-threshold purchase, so suppliers should be prepared to compete through a restricted approach rather than assume an open tender. The requirement is specifically accelerometer calibration connected with Ariel testing; relevant calibration experience and the ability to handle comparable testing equipment are the capabilities most closely aligned with this buyer’s demonstrated demand.
