Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a public authority under the central government of the United Kingdom, is inviting tenders for the manufacture and supply of Synchrotron Arbitrary Waveform Generators. This procurement process falls under the "goods" category and uses an open procedure as the procurement method. The project, titled "UKRI-5420 Synchrotron Arbitrary Waveform Generators," is expected to take place in Swindon, Wiltshire, with deliveries to be made to the UKJ14 region. Interested parties must submit their tenders before the deadline on 16th January 2026. The enquiry period ends on 7th January 2026, and the award decision is anticipated by 16th February 2026. The contract, valued at approximately £2.5 million, is open to electronic submissions and will run from 3rd March 2026 to 2nd March 2029.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in the production of power supply transformers, an additional classification of the tendered items. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, given UKRI's suitability criteria, which favour these businesses. Companies with a proven track record in delivering high-quality electronic components at competitive prices will have a strong chance to succeed, with quality and price weighted at 70% and 30%, respectively, in the award criteria. Engaging with this high-value contract could enhance a company's market presence and open doors to future projects within the UK's public sector procurement landscape.
