UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured a 6 Series mixed-signal oscilloscope with Flex Channels and a 62.5M record length. The requirement included calibration, a calibration certificate and shipping. This is a goods procurement for specialist electronic test and measurement equipment, specifically an oscilloscope. UK Research and Innovation was the buyer, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd acting as the procuring entity and shared service provider. Delivery was required in the United Kingdom. The equipment is intended for technical measurement and signal analysis in a research and innovation environment. The requirement covered one completed lot and was treated as a single equipment supply rather than a wider programme of services, installation or works. The supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise specialising in photonics and related technical equipment.

This procurement has been completed following a below-threshold limited competition. The tender status was complete and the sole lot was awarded to Photonic Solutions Limited. The award remains active, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 19 August 2026, began on 20 August 2026 and ended on 20 August 2026. Its value was £11,800 excluding VAT, or £14,160 including VAT. The award covered the oscilloscope, calibration, certification and shipping. The procurement used a limited procedure rather than an open competition. The published description identifies this as a contract details notice and confirms that the procurement followed a limited competition exercise. No separate evaluation weighting, eligibility requirement or additional lot-level conditions are stated in the procurement outcome.

This outcome indicates demand from UK Research and Innovation for high-specification electronic test equipment supplied with assurance of accuracy and supporting documentation. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this type would need capability in mixed-signal oscilloscopes, including instruments with flexible channel configurations and substantial record lengths. Credible competitors should also be able to arrange or provide calibration, issue a recognised calibration certificate and manage reliable delivery within the United Kingdom. The successful supplier was an SME specialising in photonics and technical equipment, suggesting that focused specialist distributors or manufacturers can compete with larger general suppliers where they can meet the precise technical specification. Relevant experience should cover research, laboratory or advanced engineering customers requiring ready-to-use, certified measurement equipment.
