UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process was led by UK Research and Innovation, based in Swindon, United Kingdom, concerning a "Single crystal diffractometer Service Contract". This falls under the services category, specifically technical services, and was concluded at the Award stage. The process was executed without competition due to the absence of reasonable alternatives, utilising a direct procurement method below the threshold. The contract was awarded to Rigaku Europe SE on 18th December 2025, with a contract period commencing on 11th March 2026 and concluding on 10th March 2027. The total value of the contract is €20,582.06.

This contract represents an opportunity primarily for businesses specialising in technical services, particularly those with expertise in crystal diffractometer services. While this specific contract was not open to competition, similar future opportunities may arise for innovative small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of providing differentiated technical services. Companies able to establish specialised technical expertise and build capacities aligned with public sector requirements could position themselves favourably for subsequent contracts issued by UK Research and Innovation or similar central government bodies.
