Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is being managed by UK Research & Innovation for the purchase of 20 CX1925X Kicker Thyratron Valves, classified under the category of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. This contracting activity is currently at the Award stage, having been signed on 30 July 2021. The procurement method employed was a limited procedure, awarded without a prior call for competition due to the unique technical requirements that only E2V Teledyne can fulfil. The delivery location is in the East of England, and the total contract value is £229,500.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in manufacturing or supplying specialised scientific equipment, particularly those that can offer unique or innovative solutions. Companies with a strong technical background in high-precision laboratory instruments may find this an advantageous area to explore, as the requirement for specific valves limits competition. The unique nature of the valves means that only suppliers capable of meeting stringent technical specifications are likely to be successful in future tenders for similar products.
