## Summary

UK Research and Innovation bought a wireless controller, classified as network equipment, for use in the United Kingdom. This is a supply of networking hardware rather than a services or construction contract. UK Research and Innovation was the buyer, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd managing the procurement. The recorded requirement covers one lot and identifies the delivery country as the United Kingdom, without a more specific delivery location. The notice title identifies the purchase as “DDaT26511 - Wireless Controller”; no further technical specification or intended application is described in the procurement data.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Probrand Limited. UKRI used a limited competition below the applicable threshold. The award is active, and the contract was signed on 30 September 2026, with a contract period running from 30 September to 31 December 2026. The recorded contract value is £12,095.85 excluding VAT and £14,515.02 including VAT. The process was divided into one lot, which is complete. No award criteria or evaluation weighting is recorded, so the basis on which bids were compared cannot be summarised beyond the limited competition route. The award is for network equipment supplied to the UK; the supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise.

This award shows UK Research and Innovation buying wireless network-control equipment through a limited competition, with a single-lot requirement delivered at modest scale. For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need to supply suitable wireless controller hardware and demonstrate that it can meet the buyer’s technical specification and delivery requirements. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that this purchase did not require a large supplier by virtue of the contract scale alone. The available procurement information does not establish particular brands, technical standards, certifications, installation or support services, or specialist qualifications, so these should not be assumed to have been required. Suppliers with relevant networking equipment capability and experience serving public-sector organisations are closest to the demonstrated requirement.
