UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) involved the supply of deposition sources, crucibles, cables, and controllers for the STFC Daresbury Laboratory. This was classified under the industry category of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, located in Swindon, Wiltshire, a region of the United Kingdom. The procurement reached its award stage with completion of lot 1, under a limited competition due to being below the threshold. Notable deadlines included the contract signing on 24th February 2026, with delivery expected to complete by 31st March 2026. The contract update was published on 4th March 2026, correcting the currency from GBP to Euros for the value amounting to 38,230 Euros.

This tender provided substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly appealing to suppliers capable of delivering precision equipment for laboratory environments. Large-scale suppliers like Dr. Eberl MBE Komponenten GmbH from Germany, who specialise in the precision equipment sector, were well-suited to participate due to their capacity to fulfil UKRI's specialised requirements. Businesses focusing on innovative and high-quality laboratory equipment production had the opportunity to expand their portfolios and engage with a prominent public authority, thereby increasing their visibility and business prospects within the UK and potentially internationally.
