## Summary

This public procurement process conducted by UK Research and Innovation, located at Polaris House in Swindon, pertains to the supply of an industrial -80 freezer. The procurement falls under the industry category of Goods and took place through a direct procurement method without competition due to technical reasons, as only a specific supplier could meet the requirements. The procurement process is in the award stage, with the contract signed on 24 September 2025 and running from 25 September 2025 to 2 October 2025. The contracting process was completed below the threshold, eliminating the need for an open competition.

This tender offers specific business growth potential for companies specialising in scientific or industrial goods, particularly suppliers with unique technical capabilities to produce specialised equipment such as freezers. While the opportunity was not competed due to the specific technical requirements, businesses that can provide similar or complementary scientific equipment may consider monitoring future procurement announcements from UK Research and Innovation. The contract valued at £11,754 showcases a narrow focus on bespoke scientific equipment, implying that organisations capable of offering niche products could successfully engage with such government procurement processes. PHC EUROPE B.V., a large-scale supplier based in Loughborough, was awarded the contract, highlighting the opportunity for similar vendors to explore such unique tenders.
