Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the acquisition of a neutron generator head (Model DT110.1gs) was managed by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a central government authority based in Swindon, Wiltshire. The procurement was initiated as a direct award due to the need for compatibility with existing equipment. The procurement method was justified under the rationale of technical reasons involving a single supplier. The contract, valued at £250,000, was awarded to Adelphi Technology, Inc., a large supplier based in the United States. It commenced on 15 January 2026 and concluded on 30 January 2026. Following its award, the contract was terminated on 18 June 2026, after successful completion, with the termination notice published on 2 July 2026.

The direct award process emphasises the importance of maintaining a competitive edge through niche offerings that align with specific procurement needs. Engaging in collaborations and strategic partnerships may further enhance opportunities for business growth within the public sector market.
