Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process involves UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a central government authority based in Swindon, Wiltshire, United Kingdom. The tender titled "UKRI-5059 MinFLUX Laser Replacement" is in the award and contract stage, addressing the goods category, specifically lasers. The procurement has a direct method approach, completed without competition due to it being below the threshold. The contract was signed on 2nd July 2025, with a performance period from 3rd July 2025 to 29th August 2025. The awarded supplier is Abberior Instruments GmbH from Germany, indicating a cross-border procurement activity.

This tender represents a growth opportunity for businesses involved in laser manufacturing or supply, particularly those looking to engage with government agencies in high-tech innovation sectors.
