Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), located at Polaris House, North Star Avenue, Swindon, United Kingdom, has completed a procurement process for the acquisition of a DoubleMOT Vacuum System for the STFC National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) in Oxfordshire. This procurement falls under the industry category of laboratory, optical and precision equipment (excluding glasses), as classified by the CPV code 38000000. The procurement method was a limited process with the rationale that the contract could only be fulfilled by a particular economic operator due to a lack of competition for technical reasons. The contract, worth £172,785, was awarded to Laser 2000 (UK) Ltd, with the contract signed on 22nd November 2024.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in high-precision laboratory equipment, particularly those with unique technical capabilities that differentiate them from competitors. Companies such as Laser 2000 (UK) Ltd, a small-to-medium enterprise based in Huntingdon, that can offer specialised and technically demanding products, stand to benefit from similar procurement opportunities. By engaging in such contracts, businesses can establish strong relationships with prominent public sector research institutions like UKRI, potentially leading to further high-value procurement opportunities in the future.
