    Brief

    This is a contract details notice, not a call for competition. UK Research Innovation (UKRI) has concluded this procurement without a competitive tender process due to technical reasons that necessitate a single, specific supplier. The services required have no reasonable alternatives available in the market. This notice is published for transparency purposes regarding the Smartlab Service contract award.
