This procurement falls under the 'goods' category and specifically focuses on magnetic systems, classified under CPV code 31630000. The magnetic system will be delivered to Oxfordshire, region UKJ14. The procurement, concluded with an award status, followed an open procedure with a contract signed on 27th March 2025, valued at £863,448 GBP. Key deadlines previously included the tender period end date of 9th December 2024 and the contract initiation with bids opening on the same day.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in high-tech manufacturing and scientific research equipment, such as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with technical expertise in superconducting systems. The awarded contract could serve as a substantial growth catalyst, especially for companies aiming to expand their professional portfolio or establish a foothold within the public sector procurement sphere. The high emphasis on technical quality over cost (70% quality and 30% price) suggests that businesses with advanced technological capabilities stand to benefit the most. With the involvement of a large supplier like Oxford Instruments NanoScience, the tender demonstrates the potential for collaborations or subcontracting opportunities with credible names in the industry.
