UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured RIKEN DC Magnet Power Supply Danfysik 9700 Link Boards. These are specialist laboratory, optical and precision equipment used as link boards for a RIKEN direct-current magnet power supply. The requirement is for goods, with delivery in the United Kingdom. UK Research and Innovation is the buying organisation, while UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement as its shared service provider. The requirement is associated with Danfysik 9700 equipment, making it relevant to manufacturers, authorised suppliers and specialist distributors of magnet power-supply components, particularly businesses able to supply technically compatible replacement or integration boards for research infrastructure.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a below-threshold direct award without competition because the buyer stated that technical reasons meant only one particular supplier could supply the goods. One lot was awarded to Danfysik A/S. The contract value is EUR 28,728 gross, and the contract was signed on 4 August 2026. The contract period runs from 4 August 2026 to 4 November 2026. The award covered the RIKEN DC Magnet Power Supply Danfysik 9700 Link Boards requirement and was evaluated through the stated technical-supply rationale rather than a competitive tender. The award is recorded as active and the contract is active.

This award indicates demand from UK Research and Innovation for highly specialised components used in research magnet power-supply systems, rather than general electrical equipment. A credible future competitor would need proven capability in precision laboratory and accelerator-related equipment, and a detailed understanding of Danfysik 9700 systems and their link-board interfaces. Technical compatibility, reliable supply of exact or approved replacement components, and the ability to support delivery to a UK research organisation would be central to competing effectively. The direct award rationale shows that supplier uniqueness and defensible technical expertise were decisive in this procurement, so businesses with documented product ownership, manufacturer authorisation, or equivalent evidence of compatibility would be best placed to challenge that position when the requirement returns.
