## Summary

The procurement process involves the buying organisation UK Shared Business Services Limited, which has completed an award notice for the supply of K8 blanks for HR-I prisms under the title "PR18142 Blanks for HR-I Prisms UKRI". This contract falls within the astronomical and optical instruments industry category and is located in Scotland, United Kingdom. The procurement method used was a limited competitive quotation process, with a total contract value of £26,699. The contract period runs from 28th February 2019 to 30th September 2019, following a tender period that concluded on 25th February 2019.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to engage in a specialised niche of the optical instruments market. Companies capable of supplying high-resolution optical components or similar goods would be well-suited to compete in future tenders of this nature, given the limited nature of the procurement process and the specific technological requirements associated with astronomical instruments.
