The UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), specifically the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), has completed a tender process for the supply of Nd Phosphate Laser Glass, designated as UKRI-2233. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically the glass industry, and took place in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. The contract was awarded via a limited procurement method without prior publication, due to the specialized nature of the materials, with a total contract value of USD 380,310 signed on 21st June 2022. Key dates include the contract initiation on 20th July 2022 and the expected availability of related documents within 30 days following the award.

Given the specific requirements and the fact that the product is managed under a patent, only firms with the capability to handle and provide such specialist materials would be well-suited to compete. Businesses involved in manufacturing, particularly those experienced in working with high-tech materials and scientific supply chains, may find significant growth opportunities through similar procurement processes within the research and innovation sectors.
