Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited has completed a procurement process titled "GSS24943 - Lasers & Accessories" under the industry category of lasers (CPV code: 38636100). The contract was awarded on 18 December 2024, with the entire process marked as complete. This procurement was conducted via a limited, below-threshold competitive quotation method. The contract period starts on 23 December 2024 and will end on 1 September 2025. The items will be delivered to OX11 0QX, with a total value of £32,753.36 (GBP). The procurement was suitable for SMEs but not for voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).

This awarded contract presents an opportunity for businesses involved in the laser industry to observe the successful procurement practices and potentially prepare for future similar tenders. The procurement method highlights the competitive yet accessible nature of such contracts, especially for SMEs, suggesting that businesses of a similar scale might benefit from engaging in these opportunities. Large companies like Thorlabs Limited, the winning supplier based in Cambridgeshire, stood out in this process, making it clear that established businesses with capacity and capability in providing laser equipment are well-suited to compete.
