Summary of the contracting process

The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), has completed a procurement process for a laser turning mirror designed for use in an in-vacuo laser pulse compressor system. This project is part of the Extreme Photonics Applications Centre (EPAC) located at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement utilised an open procedure and entered the award stage on 20th August 2024, with the contract period running from 2nd October 2024 to 23rd June 2025. The total contract value is £159,390, classifying under the industry category of Laboratory, Optical and Precision Equipment (excluding glasses).

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity for companies specialising in the production of high-precision laboratory and optical equipment. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular could find this type of contract beneficial for enhancing their market presence and technological capabilities. Although Lambda Photometrics Ltd, a large-scale supplier, has been awarded the contract, similar future opportunities could be well-suited for SMEs looking to collaborate with public sector organisations like the UKRI on innovative scientific projects. Engaging in such contracts can facilitate new partnerships and access to cutting-edge research and development projects.
