## Summary

UK Research & Innovation, located in Swindon, has completed the procurement process for oceanographic research equipment, specifically deepwater radar sets. The procurement falls under the goods category, classified mainly as radar sets (CPV 34932000), with additional classifications for radar apparatus and radar surveillance equipment. The procurement was conducted through a negotiated procedure without prior publication, and the contract was awarded on 26th March 2025. The contract period spanned from 27th March 2025 to 22nd April 2025, with delivery expected in the East of England. The award details were published on 16th April 2025.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity for firms specialising in oceanographic and radar equipment.
