Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by UK Research and Innovation, involves a direct contract award for the supply of a Gamma Ray Source. The procurement pertains to the public authority-central government sector and is classified under the industry category of "Non-medical equipment based on the use of radiations." Located in Swindon, United Kingdom, and concluded without competition due to technical reasons, the contract was awarded to HIGH TECHNOLOGY SOURCES LIMITED. The procurement process was completed as of 13th January 2026, with relevant dates including the contract period from 12th to 16th January 2026.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses with specialised capabilities in radiation-based technologies, particularly those adept at supplying niche technological goods. While the procurement was direct and didn't invite competitive bids, similar opportunities might arise where competitive procurement is possible. Companies, especially SMEs experienced in providing high-technology, non-medical equipment, can leverage such opportunities by focusing on the specific needs and technical specifications favored by UK Research and Innovation. Engaging with UK Shared Business Services Ltd, the procuring entity, could provide insights into future procurement strategies and opportunities for partnerships.
