## Summary

UK Shared Business Services Limited is conducting a public procurement process for the supply of three klystrons intended for use in klystron modulators for the CLARA Test Demonstration Complex. The tender, titled "CLARA TDC Klystrons," falls under the electronic supplies category and has a contract value of £1,000,000, with a minimum threshold of £750,000. The tender period has ended as of 31st October 2016, and the contract is set to run from 21st November 2016 to 19th November 2020, with the award having been made on 20th December 2016.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the electronics and engineering sectors.

Collaborations with suppliers that have a track record of government contracts could enhance competitive bids in similar upcoming public procurement processes.
