## Summary

The UK Research & Innovation has awarded a £500,000 contract to Redlen Technologies Inc. for the procurement of X-ray detectors with high stopping power for X-ray applications. The tender, titled "UKRI-3353 CdZnTe Detectors with Fine Pitch Pixel for High Flux X-Ray Applications," falls under the industry category of "Detection and analysis apparatus." The procurement process was initiated through an open procedure, with a tender period ending on 21st February 2024 and a contract period starting on 22nd February 2024 and ending on 22nd December 2027.

This contract presents an opportunity for businesses involved in the supply of X-ray detector materials with advanced capabilities to compete for contracts supporting the next generation of X-ray science facilities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in detector development and advanced electronics are particularly well-suited to engage in this procurement process. Suppliers with a focus on innovation and high-tech solutions may find this tender favourable for business growth and expansion.

## Notice

STFC require a X-ray detector materials with high stopping power at energies up to 100keV and can operate at very high X-ray fluxes of 108 ph/mm2/s and higher, without polarisation, to meet the needs to the next generation of X-ray science facilities. A selection of detectors are required over the next 3 years to support the development and of a new generation of readout electronics and to inform the a final detector system design.
