Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by UK Research and Innovation, in collaboration with UK Shared Business Services Ltd, pertains to a service contract for the Aurora laser. The contract, identified as CSP26631, is categorised under repair and maintenance services within the public authority sector for central government. Located in Swindon, United Kingdom, this process, initiated on 22nd June 2026, has reached the contract award stage and is due to start on 31st July 2026, concluding on 30th July 2027. The procurement was conducted directly without competition, due to the absence of competition for technical reasons, and CYTEK BIOSCIENCES LTD was awarded the contract. The total contract value amounts to £16,452, with a gross total of £19,742.40.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in technical repair and maintenance services, making it ideal for suppliers familiar with sophisticated laser technologies. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with niche expertise in providing bespoke technical solutions, such as CYTEK BIOSCIENCES LTD, could benefit greatly from similar tenders, especially where unique capabilities match specific procurement needs. With the central government entity's involvement and the focus on highly specialised services, prospective suppliers with proven expertise in the field stand a strong chance of securing similar contracts in the future.
