I currently have .co.uk with name.com who do not provide a .uk domain. Is there anyway I can register a .uk domain with a different provider for this domain?

You have to transfer the domain to a register who does offer uk reg – themihai Aug 29 '14 at 1:55

See my answer...try names.co.uk – DD. Nov 19 '14 at 12:21
Some registrars will allow you to register the .uk by verifying ownership of the .co.uk address. For example, I registered the address medexpress.co.uk with name.com who do not offer .uk domains. I registered the medexpress.uk with names.co.uk, after supplying verification that I own medexpress.co.uk.
However, some registrar's such as 123-reg would not allow me to register the .uk address without transferring the .co.uk address.
Yes, you can register it, just register the .uk at another registrar.

Not all registrars will let you do this. e.g. 123-reg will not register a .uk address if you do not have the .co.uk address with them. – DD. Nov 19 '14 at 12:20
