## Summary

The University of Lincoln has completed the procurement process for the "Imaging Instrumentation OPTIma Project," which pertains to the manufacture and supply of strip detectors for the OPTIma project. The procurement, classified under optical instruments, involved a competitive quotation method and has a contract value of £210,000. The contract period commenced on 1st July 2020 and extends until 3rd December 2020. The procurement process was initiated prior to the tender period ending on 8th May 2020, and the contract has been awarded to HAMAMATSU PHOTONICS UK LIMITED, based in England.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the sector of optical instruments. Businesses that specialise in manufacturing or supplying components related to imaging technologies, particularly those with the capacity to deliver mechanical spares, would be well-positioned to compete in similar tenders. As the project aims to enhance proton therapy through advanced imaging, firms with expertise in medical technologies and imaging equipment may also find valuable prospects in future contracts initiated by the University of Lincoln.
