Summary of the contracting process

The tender titled "UKSBS PR17112 Polish and Recoat Existing Mirror" is being conducted by the Daresbury Laboratory, which is part of the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). This procurement process falls under the goods category, specifically for optical microscopes, with a contract value of £11,100. The tender period has concluded, with bids closing on 6th September 2017. The contract is intended to provision materials and labour for the repolishing and recoating of customer-supplied substrates, with the contract period set to run from 21st September to 19th October 2017, located in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses looking to engage in scientific and technical services, particularly those involved in optical and materials processing. Prime candidates for this contract would include suppliers of optical components and services, especially those with experience in high-precision engineering or coatings. The competitive quotation procurement method was applied, and while small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are not the primary focus, voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find potential in submitting proposals, given the STFC's commitment to fostering innovation and collaboration in scientific research.
