UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation required the replacement of a soft X-ray source tube. The requirement is classified as a service for the repair and maintenance of X-ray equipment. It covers the works needed to replace the source tube rather than a broader equipment supply or general laboratory maintenance service. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. UK Research and Innovation is the buying organisation, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd acting as the procuring entity and shared service provider. This requirement is relevant to businesses that supply, service or maintain soft X-ray sources and associated X-ray equipment, particularly specialist providers able to carry out a source-tube replacement for a research organisation.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded without competition through a below-threshold direct procedure, because only a particular supplier could supply the required works. TSI Instruments Ltd was awarded the single lot on 16 July 2026. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and runs from 20 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £12,050 excluding VAT, or £14,460 including VAT. The award is for X-ray equipment repair and maintenance services, specifically replacement of the soft X-ray source tube. The contract is active. The published outcome shows that the buyer selected TSI Instruments Ltd as the supplier for the complete requirement.

For a supplier assessing this buyer’s future requirements, the procurement demonstrates demand for specialist soft X-ray source-tube replacement within UK Research and Innovation’s research equipment environment. A credible competitor would need technical capability in soft X-ray sources, practical experience repairing or maintaining X-ray equipment, and the ability to supply and install the required replacement component. The direct award indicates that supplier-specific capability, compatibility or access to the necessary equipment mattered in this purchase. Businesses with established manufacturer or technology-provider expertise, demonstrable X-ray maintenance experience and the capacity to support a specialist research organisation would be better placed to compete if a comparable requirement returns to market.
