    Brief

    This is a Contract Details Notice, not a call for competition. UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has concluded a hardware procurement through a non-competitive process due to technical reasons, where only a particular supplier can provide the required goods and services. This notice is issued for transparency and record purposes only. No applications are being accepted as the contract has already been awarded to the sole qualified supplier.
