## Summary

The procurement process involves UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) seeking a supplier for a Mastersizer 3000 laser diffraction system, aimed at grain analysis. This contract, valued at £46,550, falls under the measuring instruments category and is based in the East of England, United Kingdom. The tender period concluded on 6th December 2021, and the awarded contract commenced on 31st January 2022, running until 31st March 2022. This being a single source award indicates that the EU distributor declined to provide a quotation for supply to the UK, suggesting a specific purchasing need from the authority.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in scientific measuring instruments and equipment, particularly those capable of supplying high-quality laser diffraction systems. Suppliers with capabilities in precision measurement technology and a track record in servicing research institutions or laboratories would be particularly well-suited to engage with UKRI. Additionally, businesses able to facilitate rapid delivery and compliance with specialised scientific standards may find themselves in a favourable position as potential competitors in future tenders within this niche market.
