## Summary

UK Research and Innovation procured specialist services to modify an MP Breaker and provide an onshore systems engineer. The requirement covers marine equipment modification, engineering support, repair and associated maintenance services, classified under CPV 50240000. The work supports UKRI’s operational need for a modified MP Breaker together with engineering input for the related onshore system. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement for UKRI as its shared service provider. The selected supplier, Kongsberg Maritime AS, is based in Aalesund, Norway, and specialises in marine equipment and associated engineering services. This opportunity is therefore most relevant to businesses with marine systems engineering, equipment modification and technical maintenance capability, particularly those familiar with MP Breaker systems and connected onshore infrastructure.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition because the buyer recorded an absence of competition for technical reasons, with only one supplier able to provide the required goods and services. It was a below-threshold, direct procurement covering one completed lot. Kongsberg Maritime AS received the award on 6 July 2026. The contract was signed on 6 July 2026, runs from 7 July 2026 to 31 October 2026, and has an awarded value of EUR 19,873 gross. The contract remains active. UKRI is the buyer and UK Shared Business Services Ltd is the procuring entity. Evaluation was not competitive; the stated basis was technical exclusivity rather than a scored tender process.

This procurement demonstrates demand from UKRI for narrowly specialised marine engineering rather than general facilities or engineering services. A credible competitor for similar work would need to understand MP Breaker equipment, carry out modification work safely, and provide engineers able to support associated onshore systems. The requirement favours suppliers with direct technical knowledge of the relevant equipment, dependable access to specialist personnel and the capacity to deliver both equipment modification and systems engineering as one service. Kongsberg Maritime AS’s selection, together with the recorded technical-reasons justification, indicates that proprietary knowledge, equipment-specific competence or an equivalent ability to support the existing system would be important when assessing future suppliers.
