UK Research and Innovation has successfully completed a procurement process for the supply of cameras and Linux software, classified under the "goods" category, with Andor Technology Ltd being awarded the contract. This limited competition procurement followed a contract details notice published on 20th August 2025 and secured contract active status as of 19th August 2025, with a completion date set for 28th November 2025. Operating out of Swindon, UK Research and Innovation, identified as a central government public authority, coordinated the tender in collaboration with the UK Shared Business Services Ltd, serving as the procuring entity.
