UKRI, located in Swindon, specified the procurement process would deliver the system to various global locations including the UK and other regions. The tender period ended on 4 November 2024, with the contract period running from 6 November 2024 to 31 March 2025. The total contract value is £75,830 GBP.

This completed tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacturing and provision of advanced laser-operated machine tools and machining centres. Companies that can provide high-precision wavelength systems will find such tenders particularly lucrative.

The awarded supplier for this tender is NKT Photonics A/S, suggesting that established companies with substantial industry experience may have an advantage in securing such contracts. Businesses interested should monitor similar procurement activities for opportunities to expand their market presence and contribute to cutting-edge research initiatives.
