## Summary

UK Research and Innovation bought replacement hardware to upgrade its existing equipment, together with field-service attendance to install the new hardware. The requirement combines the supply of hardware with installation support, rather than a standalone equipment purchase. The work is for UKRI, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd managing the procurement as its shared service provider. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery location is identified. The goods classification covers office and computing machinery and equipment, excluding furniture and software packages, alongside hardware and hardware installation services. The stated rationale is to upgrade existing hardware, with supplier attendance required for installation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Anschuetz GmbH under a single lot. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from 28 September 2026 to 1 January 2027. Its value is €30,399.50 excluding VAT, or €36,479.40 including VAT. UKRI used a below-threshold direct award without competition, citing the absence of competition for technical reasons: only a particular supplier could supply the required goods and services. The published award records one active supplier and an active contract. The award date is not stated in the contracting data; the signing date is given above and is not necessarily the award date.

For suppliers seeking comparable work from UKRI, this award shows demand for upgrades to existing hardware bundled with on-site field-service attendance and installation. A credible competitor would need to supply compatible replacement equipment and provide the technical personnel and service capability to install it within the buyer’s operational setting. The stated technical-reasons rationale is significant: UKRI considered that only a particular supplier could meet this requirement, so a future alternative would need to demonstrate that its hardware and installation capability can meet the relevant technical requirements. This is a focused requirement for equipment and installation, not a broad IT support or software opportunity. Anschuetz GmbH, a large supplier, was selected for this procurement; no particular accreditation, staffing level or prior experience requirement is recorded.
