## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by UK Research and Innovation, involves a contract for transport services under the title "CSP26608 - Transport services". Located in Swindon, at Polaris House, North Star Avenue, the contracting authority functions within the central government public authority sector. Concluded on 18th June 2026, this tender has reached the award stage and was executed as a direct procurement without competition, primarily due to the technical uniqueness of the service provider KUEHNE + NAGEL LIMITED, based in Feltham. The contract commenced on 5th June 2026 and is set to conclude by 2nd July 2026, with a gross contract value of GBP 36,895.75.

This tender represents a significant opportunity within the transport services industry, particularly suitable for large companies with technical expertise in logistics and specialized transport services. Despite the absence of competitive bidding, it underscores the demand for niche service providers capable of meeting specific technical requirements. Businesses operating in the United Kingdom, particularly those familiar with public sector procurement and equipped to handle complex logistics, could find considerable growth opportunities by aligning with similar public contracts in the future.
