## Summary

The procurement process overseen by UK Research and Innovation, a prominent public authority, involves the purchase of two 105-litre compact ultra-low temperature freezers. This contract falls under the award stage, as detailed in a contract notice published on 17th April 2026. The procurement method highlights direct sourcing, conducted without competition due to specific technical requirements, earmarked for delivery within the United Kingdom. The process takes place in Swindon, under the Public Authority Central Government category, aligned with the legislation documented by UKPGA 2023/54. The contract, valued at £18,768.60 gross, is scheduled from 17th to 22nd April 2026.

This contract poses a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the manufacturing and supply of scientific equipment, particularly freezers, to explore direct partnerships with governmental entities such as UK Research and Innovation. Given the technical specificity and absence of competitive tendering, companies with proven capabilities in bespoke scientific equipment provision may find a niche market for their specialised products. SME suppliers with the capacity to fulfil technically demanding orders, like SCIQUIP LIMITED, which has been selected as the supplier for this tender, can leverage such procurement processes to cement their reputation and expand their portfolio with central government contracts.
