S. P. R. Shilling (Lancaster U.)  and S. R. Oates (Lancaster U.) report on behalf of the Swift UVOT team:

Swift/UVOT observed the field of SVOM/ECLAIRs GRB 250402A (Chen et al. GCN Circ. 40014) for 2521 seconds in the U-band starting at 12:48:12 UT on 25/04/03, ~13 hours after the detection by SVOM/ECLAIRs.

No optical afterglow is detected within a 5" radius of the position of the uncatalogued X-ray source
detected by Swift/XRT (Dichiara et al., GCN Circ. 40027) and SVOM/MXT (Maggi et al., GCN circ. 40019) or the optical afterglow detected by SVOM/VT (Xin et al., GCN Circ. 40015), LCOGT (Pérez-Fournon et al., GCN Circ. 40020), and the SVOM/COLIBRÍ (Magnani et al., GCN Circ. 40023). 

The Swift/UVOT non-detection in the U-band has a preliminary 3-sigma upper limit of >21.1, calculated using the UVOT photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373).
