## Summary

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a public authority within the central government, is overseeing the procurement of a High Frequency Survey Scatterometer (GHFSS) aimed at supporting The British Antarctic Survey. Located in Swindon, Wiltshire, UKRI finalised this procurement process in the Award and Contract stages on 2nd February 2026, when the contract was published, and the agreement became active on 3rd February 2026. While the tender was conducted using a limited procurement method, signifying a below threshold, limited competition process, the contract ended on 26th March 2026 and was subsequently terminated as of 10th June 2026. The procurement falls under the goods category, and the project was contracted to Ocean Physics Europe SAS, a small-to-medium enterprise based in France, with financial agreements in GBP valuation.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in radar technology, particularly those capable of delivering complex electromagnetic systems within a compact timeframe. Companies with expertise in scientific instruments or those already familiar with the requirements of public sector contracts, especially involving environmental and Antarctic research, may find such opportunities enhance their industry reputation and expand their market reach. The project, valued at approximately £87,229.30 gross, suggests growth potential through partnering with high-profile public bodies in collaborative innovation, especially for SMEs keen on international supply partnerships.
