Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the project titled "CSP25542 iXon Ultra UV/Blue Enhanced" has been completed by UK Research and Innovation, a central government public authority located in Swindon, United Kingdom. The process involved a limited competition method where the requirement was to source the iXon Ultra UV/Blue Enhanced for UKRI-STFC. This procurement falls under the industry category of Analytical, Scientific, Mathematical, or Forecasting Software Package. The procurement stage is at the Award phase, with the status marked as complete, and the contract date was signed on 3rd November 2025, starting from 4th November 2025 to 5th December 2025. The main procurement category is goods, and the total contract value is £49,499 excluding VAT, with a gross amount of £59,398.80. The delivery is planned within the UK.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in scientific and analytical software, particularly those capable of providing high-quality UV/Blue enhanced technology. The limited competition process suggests that only a few suppliers were able to meet the specific requirements, highlighting a niche market that businesses in the scientific technology sector could explore for future growth. Large-scale corporations such as the successful supplier, Andor Technology Ltd, who effectively engaged in this process, reflect the type of business well-suited to such specialised contracts. Engaging with public sector contracts like this can facilitate expanded market presence and revenue growth through governmental partnerships.
