UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) procured evaluation boards for the MUSHROOM Instrument, a requirement classified as microelectronic machinery and apparatus. The boards support the evaluation and operation of this scientific instrument. The buying organisation is UKRI, a central government public authority. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The requirement was treated as a single procurement lot and covers the supply of specialist electronic hardware rather than general electronics or routine office equipment. It is therefore relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist technology businesses able to provide evaluation boards compatible with the MUSHROOM Instrument and the technical requirements of a research-instrument environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and awarded on the same date to Costruzioni Apparecchiature Elettroniche Nucleari C.A.E.N. S.p.A. The awarded contract value is EUR 31,945.57 gross. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. One supplier received the award for the single lot, covering the evaluation boards. The award is active and the contract is active. The stated procurement title identifies the requirement as UKRI-6245 PSIROC evaluation boards for the MUSHROOM Instrument.

This award indicates a focused requirement for specialist microelectronic hardware within UKRI’s research-instrument portfolio. A supplier competing for comparable work would need to design, manufacture or source evaluation boards that are technically compatible with the MUSHROOM Instrument, demonstrate reliable product conformity, and support delivery into a scientific or advanced-engineering setting. The successful supplier is a large specialist electronics company, showing that relevant manufacturing depth, product knowledge and the ability to fulfil a defined hardware requirement are important. Businesses with established relationships with research organisations, experience supplying instrumentation electronics, and the capacity to handle bespoke or technically controlled board requirements would be best placed to build credibility when UKRI next requires this type of equipment.
