UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation has awarded a contract titled "CSP25388 - Neutron camera for IMAT beamline" as part of its central government public authority functions. The procurement process, initiated on a direct, non-competitive basis due to technical specificity, was carried out by UK Shared Business Services Ltd located in Swindon, UK. The procurement falls under the industry category for cameras and involves a transaction of goods with a completion date of 15th October 2025. The contract was signed on 22nd September 2025 and the details were published on 23rd September 2025. The contract is valued at £13,078 excluding VAT (£15,693.60 including VAT).

This procurement provides business growth opportunities specifically tailored for suppliers with capabilities in high-specification camera technology, suitable for use in scientific research environments. Large-scale businesses with expertise in advanced imaging technology, like the supplier Andor Technology Ltd, who is already based in the UK, are ideal candidates for such contracts due to their capacity to meet technical demands. Such opportunities are less frequent and rewarding for companies possessing niche expertise in technical equipment manufacturing and supply.
