## Summary

UK Research and Innovation’s Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) located at Polaris House, North Star Avenue, Swindon, conducted a procurement process for APA panels in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement, under ID BIP875735305, was classified under the CPV code 44175000 (Panels) and had a budget of £53,056. The tender period concluded on 3rd July 2024, with the contract commencing on 4th July 2024 and ending on 30th August 2024. The procurement stage is complete, and the contract has been awarded to Locker Wire Weavers Ltd.

This procurement presents a growth opportunity for suppliers specialising in manufacturing and supplying panels, particularly those with the technical capability to meet the specific requirements of the STFC. Even though this tender had a sole suitable supplier due to technical reasons, similar future tenders could provide ample opportunities for businesses in the manufacturing sector, including SMEs. Vendors capable of fulfilling specialised product criteria may find working with large research organisations like UKRI beneficial for expanding their market presence and fostering long-term business growth.
