Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "UKRI-5160 Scintillator for HRPD-X Bank" involved UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) as the buying organisation. Operating from Swindon, Wiltshire, UKRI sought goods under the industry category for production related to touch screen monitors. The procurement process followed a limited competition method due to it being below the threshold. The tender reached the award stage, with a contract awarded to Scintacor Ltd on 11th August 2025, which remained active until 17th October 2025. The legal basis for the procurement is grounded on UK legislation 2023/54, and the procurement was carried out under the status of 'complete'.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in electronic goods, specifically those producing touch screen monitor components or similar technologies. Companies equipped to supply specialised equipment for scientific research settings, such as the ZnS:Ag/6LiF screen, could find this type of contract an excellent avenue for growth. Large enterprises like Scintacor Ltd, which was the awarded supplier, demonstrate the capability required to meet the demands of such tenders, highlighting the potential for other businesses in similar markets to explore partnerships or build capacity for future tenders in central government procurement.
