## Summary

This procurement process, managed by UK Research and Innovation, pertains to the contract titled "DDaT26165 - Power Distribution Unit", within the sector of Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables, including lighting, under the main procurement category of goods. The process took place in the United Kingdom, particularly in the Swindon area, UK - UKK14 region, and concluded with an award on 11th March 2026. The procurement, which was conducted as a limited competition, had already reached the award stage as indicated by its "complete" status. The contract was signed on 5th March 2026 and spans from 6th March to 31st March 2026. The project involved UK Shared Business Services Ltd as the procuring entity.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that are involved in the supply and distribution of electrical equipment and consumables. As the procurement method involved a limited competition below the threshold, this could open doors for smaller enterprises looking to establish a foothold in government contracts, particularly those that can provide efficient power distribution solutions. Large businesses such as CDW Limited have successfully competed in this space, indicating that firms with robust supply chains and a strong presence in the electrical apparatus sector would be well-suited to pursue similar opportunities. Engaging in contracts with central government authorities such as UK Research and Innovation can provide sustained growth potential and increased visibility in public procurement markets.
