## Summary

The UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has recently awarded a contract for the procurement titled "GB-Swindon: UKRI-2776 SWIMMR S1 Technical Contribution" in the technical support services category. The procurement, with an estimated value of £106,843 GBP, was conducted through an open procedure and had a tender period ending on 13th February 2023. The contracting authority, UKRI, based in Swindon, South East UK, granted the contract to supplier Inverse Quanta. The contract period spans from 14th February 2023 to 30th April 2023.

This awarded tender provides an opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to engage in projects related to improved in-situ radiation measurements for space and aviation. Businesses with specific technical skills capable of meeting critical timelines and budget requirements are well-suited to compete. The procurement process emphasises the importance of adherence to specified task scopes, timelines, and budgets. Interested businesses can find detailed documents and bidding information on the eSourcing Portal provided by the UKRI.

## Notice

The estimated value of the opportunity is between PS103,000-PS108,000 GBP excl. VAT with PS108,000 GBP excl. VAT being the maximum budget available which cannot be exceeded. Bids received that exceed this value shall be deemed non-compliant and shall not be considered. STFC is responsible for the delivery of the "SWIMMR Project S1: Improved in-situ radiation measurements for space and aviation" project via a combination of support from STFC (high-level technical overview, science, PA/QA, project management), contractors, and guidance from the SWIMMR stakeholders, such as the Met Office. This procurement is concerned with a wide-range and yet very specific technical skills delivered via a single point of contact. The SWIMMR programme funds are 'in-year' funds hence the tender timeline and the milestones are of critical importance. The bidder would need to demonstrate that the tasks would carried out as specified with respect to task scope, timeline and budget. The Aviation and Trusted Strands (the latter also includes the IMF facility) are interlinked; there are existing milestones to adhere. Please see the full suite of documents held within the eSourcing Portal for the specification and bidding process. https://ukri.delta-esourcing.com/respond/549J2488UH https://www.ukri.org/about-us/procurement-contract-transparency-data/ Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. https://www.ukri.org/about-us/procurement-contract-transparency-data/
