## Summary

The procurement process conducted by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a central government public authority, involved the supply of a Magnetic Bearing G5 Controller to replace an earlier model. Located in Swindon, Wiltshire, UKRI aimed to procure electronic, electromechanical, and electrotechnical supplies, with the procurement process classified under the 'goods' category. No formal competition was required for this direct procurement, indicating it was below the threshold. The contract was awarded on 10th July 2026, and the agreement remains active, extending until 31st March 2027. The contract, valued at £25,253, involves delivery within the UK, specifically within the region identified as UKJ14.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of electronic and electromechanical components, particularly those that can deliver advanced technological products such as magnetic bearings and associated controls. While SKF Magnetic Bearings, a large company based in Canada, secured the award, businesses with similar capabilities in producing high-quality electronic controllers might find this sector promising for expansion. Companies with experience in government contracts and those capable of swift, direct supplies without competitive tendering stand excellent chances to engage with similar procurement opportunities.
