The contract, titled "CSP25476 - 10x Laser Safety Eyewear," falls under the goods category, specifically protective goggles (CPV code 33735100). The procurement method was direct and conducted without competition due to technical reasons, leading to the successful awarding of the contract to Laser Physics UK. The contracting process has reached the award stage, with the contract status marked as active, and the delivery location is the United Kingdom. The key date includes the contract signing on 10th October 2025, with the contract period running from 15th to 20th October 2025. The gross value of the contract is £26,610.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in the manufacturing and supply of highly specialised protective eyewear, as it was awarded based on the absence of competitors capable of meeting specific technical requirements. Firms that are adept at providing niche laboratory safety equipment, similar to those supplied by Laser Physics UK, could find this procurement model advantageous. Companies operating as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those located within the UK and capable of supplying technically advanced safety products, would be well-suited to compete in similar future procurement opportunities.
