## Summary

The MRC Harwell Institute IPO Expansion, a procurement process led by UK Shared Business Services Limited, pertains to the hardware industry. Located in the OX11 0RD area, this tender was completed on September 3, 2020, following a direct procurement method involving a single tender action due to the requirement's valuation of £21,159.50, which was below the threshold for broader processes. The initial tender period concluded on September 2, 2020, and the contract is effective from September 3, 2020, continuing until January 31, 2021.
