## Summary

The procurement process was initiated by UK Shared Business Services Limited, focusing on the purchase of "Manipulator Arms," classified under the industry of electromechanical equipment. The procurement was executed as a direct method via a single tender action due to its low value, amounting to £125,000. Key dates include the tender deadline of 4th September 2018 and a contract duration from 5th September 2018 to 4th September 2019, with delivery set for the South West region of England.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in the manufacture and supply of electromechanical goods, particularly those capable of providing advanced equipment. Given the specialised nature of the product, larger and more established suppliers like Imperial College London successfully secured the contract, indicating that potential bidders should have a robust background in similar technologies or delivery capabilities to effectively compete in the marketplace.
