Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the supply of "DBB Cryopump Hoses" was executed by the UK Atomic Energy Authority, a public authority under the central government, located at Culham Science Centre, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. The procurement is part of the UKCA legislation (2023/54). The procurement stage has been completed, and the contract was awarded through a direct procurement process, justified by the need for additional similar goods for an existing contract. The key contract period runs from 12th November 2025 to 31st May 2026 with a total contract value of £251,736 GBP. The goods classified under the CPV codes for Tubing and Hoses will be delivered to the UKJ14 region in the United Kingdom.

This award creates significant business opportunities, particularly for large companies like INOX India Limited, which was selected as the supplier. The framework allows businesses in the manufacturing and supply chain of industrial goods, like tubing and hoses, to engage in projects that support high-value infrastructure within prominent science and energy projects in the UK. The direct award route was selected due to technical complexities and time constraints linked with the integration of the hoses into a critical assembly. Businesses capable of providing innovative and precise engineering solutions will find prospects for expansion and sustainability by engaging in such high-technology public sector contracts.
