## Summary

The NATIONAL NUCLEAR LABORATORY LIMITED is currently engaged in a procurement process titled "Contactors (single stage of the 1 and 2 cm size)" within the laboratory, optical and precision equipment industry. This procurement method is a direct award resulting from a single tender action below the threshold, and the contract is set to run from 1 March 2022 to 30 June 2022. The total contract value is £56,400, with a minimum value of £46,979.44. The tender period ended on 31 January 2022, and delivery addresses are located in the CA20 1PG postal code area.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in precision laboratory equipment. Businesses capable of supplying contactors suitable for scale-up comparisons between designs from both Tsinghua University and the University of Leeds would be particularly well-positioned to compete. With a growing demand for innovative solutions in nuclear and new energy technologies, companies aligning with these focuses may capitalise on this government contract to enhance their market presence.
