## Summary

UK Research and Innovation, based at Polaris House, Swindon, has completed a procurement process for a "NMR Service contract", explicitly without competition under the procurement method "Below threshold - without competition". This direct award contract, designated under legal basis 2023/54, commenced on 14th November 2025 and will run until 13th November 2026. The contract, valued at GBP 19,573, aligns with the service industry's repair and maintenance sector, specifically categorised under CPV codes 50530000 and 50800000. The buying entity, identified as a central government public authority, facilitated the process through UK Shared Business Services Ltd, ensuring procurement was conducted efficiently for services delivered across the UK.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses skilled in machinery repair and maintenance services, particularly those capable of providing high-standard technical services like nuclear magnetic resonance maintenance. Although this specific contract was directly awarded to Bruker UK Ltd due to technical specifications and service exclusivity, future similar tenders might benefit small to medium enterprises positioned to compete upon tender release. Businesses specialising in niche scientific equipment maintenance could leverage such opportunities to enhance their portfolios and build relationships with central government authorities.
