    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. Potential suppliers should note that this is an existing contract notice rather than an open call for bids.
