This contract pertains to the servicing and repair of spectrometers at the STFC RAL Space HiRes Spectroscopy Facility. The procurement falls under the industry category of system maintenance services, with the award status being active as of 17th July 2026. The procurement method utilised was direct, bypassing competition due to being below the threshold.
