UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

ORE Catapult bought a standard high-voltage measurement capacitor, classified as an electrical capacitor. This is a goods requirement rather than a service or construction project, focused on supplying a specialist component for high-voltage measurement activity. The buying organisation is ORE Catapult, a public undertaking based in Glasgow. The recorded supplier is Shanghai Himalayal Co.Ltd, based in Shanghai, China. The requirement was handled as a single procurement lot. Businesses relevant to this opportunity would be manufacturers, distributors or specialist electrical equipment suppliers able to provide standard high-voltage measurement capacitors to the buyer’s required specification. The procurement is specific to the supply of the capacitor, rather than broader electrical installation, maintenance or consultancy work.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold tender route, with the method described as unknown. One supplier, Shanghai Himalayal Co.Ltd, received the award for the single lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 8 July 2026. The contract period ran from 9 July 2026 to 31 July 2026. Its value was USD 37,813 excluding tax, or USD 45,375.60 including tax. The contract is below the relevant threshold. The recorded award covers the electrical capacitor requirement. This was a completed purchase rather than an ongoing competition, so the commercial outcome is the selected supplier and the stated contract value for the delivered goods.

This procurement indicates demand from ORE Catapult for specialist high-voltage measurement components bought as a discrete goods requirement. A credible future competitor would need reliable access to standard high-voltage measurement capacitors and the ability to supply equipment matching a precise technical specification, rather than offering general electrical products alone. Relevant businesses may include component manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist instrumentation suppliers, including smaller enterprises: the selected supplier is recorded as an SME. Competitiveness would also depend on handling an international supply route, meeting the buyer’s purchasing requirements and delivering a defined component order within a short contract period. Suppliers with established capability in electrical capacitors and high-voltage measurement applications are the closest fit.
