## Summary

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has completed the procurement process for the "CSP25154 - UPS Load Bank Testing" contract, focusing on services in the technical inspection and testing industry category. Located in Swindon, United Kingdom, this procurement reached the award stage with UKRI as the buying organisation. The procurement method was direct and below the threshold, necessitated by technical reasons with only Vertiv Infrastructure Ltd as the capable supplier. The contract was signed on 10th July 2025, and its active period spans from 11th July to 18th August 2025, with a value of GBP 14,105.49.

This tender presents limited business growth opportunities due to its nature of being awarded without competition. However, it underscores the importance of niche expertise in technical services such as load bank testing. Businesses that specialise in technical inspection, testing services or uninterruptible power supplies, and can demonstrate unique technical capabilities for specialised services, could find similar non-competitive opportunities in the public sector. SMEs with a focus on innovation within the utilities sector may benefit from establishing relationships with organisations like UKRI and the UK Shared Business Services Ltd, potentially opening doors to future contracts that require specialised skills.

## Notice
