Each complete system must include the camera, lenses, software, software development kit, power supply and any other equipment needed to communicate with the camera through a personal computer. This is a goods procurement for specialist digital camera and photographic equipment, including camera lenses. Delivery is required across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, the British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The requirement is therefore relevant to suppliers of complete infrared imaging systems, specialist scientific cameras, camera components and associated control or communications equipment. The buyer has reached the tender stage and invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline set for tender submissions is 7 September 2026 at 12:00 UK time. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The requirement covers two separate camera systems that must function independently. The procurement is for goods, and the tender is identified as MAST-U Diagnostic IR Cameras. Suppliers should assess the full system requirement rather than price a camera alone, because the stated scope includes lenses, software, an SDK, power supply and equipment for PC communication. The opportunity is intended to be suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise suppliers. This opportunity suits manufacturers, distributors and specialist integrators of diagnostic infrared or digital camera systems. Suppliers should be able to provide a complete, compatible package covering cameras, suitable lenses, software, a software development kit, power supplies and the equipment needed for reliable communication with a PC. The requirement favours businesses that can configure and supply two independently functioning systems, rather than providers offering only standalone camera hardware or individual components. Relevant experience in scientific, industrial, research or other specialist imaging applications would help demonstrate fit, particularly where cameras must operate as complete systems with their associated software and communications equipment. The procurement is expressly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise suppliers. ## Notice Total system cost, which includes camera, lenses, software & SDK, power supply and required equipment to allow communication with the camera via PC. Two camera systems of this specification are required for this tender, that function independently from one another. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/90690895-4d85-4b21-b644-a8c4379a7a02 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 7 Sep 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 21 Sep 2026 - 31 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UK Atomic Energy Authority | | Locality | OXFORDSHIRE | | Postcode area | Oxford | | Postcode | OX14 3DB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | | Local authority | South Oxfordshire | | Electoral ward | Sandford & the Wittenhams | | Westminster constituency | Didcot and Wantage | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38650000 - Photographic equipment - 38651000 - Cameras - 38651100 - Camera lenses - 38651600 - Digital cameras ## Release History - 19 Aug 2026 at 18:01 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/90690895-4d85-4b21-b644-a8c4379a7a02 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/90690895-4d85-4b21-b644-a8c4379a7a02 19th August 2026 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=108394&B=UKAEA Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/72814 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-atomic-energy-authority ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
