## Summary

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a central government public authority based in Swindon, Wiltshire, has completed a procurement process titled "UKRI-5636 - Spectrum Analyser" under a limited competition method for goods below threshold. The procurement aimed to acquire a Spectrum Analyser for the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC). This process was tagged as both an award and a contract and was concluded with an active status as of 15th January 2026. The contract, valued at £42,464.47 (gross £50,957.36), commenced on 16th January 2026 and will end on 5th March 2026, with the award dated 15th January 2026.

The tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in high-tech equipment supply, particularly those with expertise in spectrum analysis. Given the limited competition procurement method, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Rohde and Schwarz UK Ltd, which secured the contract, are well-placed to compete in such tenders, especially those offering niche technological solutions. The procurement further underscores the potential for growth for companies that can navigate and successfully participate in government-related technological procurements.
