    Brief

    This is a contract details notice announcing a non-competitive procurement. UK Research Innovation (UKRI) requires consumables for three Merck Millipore systems. This procurement is being conducted without competition due to technical reasons—only a particular supplier can provide the required goods, and no reasonable alternatives are available.
