## Summary

The procurement process involves the purchase of a Vacuum Chamber Assembly by the UK Shared Business Services Limited (UK SBS) for £27,013. This tender, classified under the CPV code for miscellaneous evaluation or testing instruments, is reported as complete, following a competitive quotation method that was conducted below the threshold. The procurement was initiated on 7th October 2021, with the contract period spanning from this date until 31st January 2022, and the procurement officially concluded with the award notice published on 8th October 2021. The goods were to be delivered to a location associated with the postal code OX11 0QX in England.

This opportunity could lead to significant business growth for suppliers specialising in testing instruments and related goods. Companies, particularly SMEs with expertise in vacuum technology or similar machinery, would be well-positioned to engage in future tenders like this. Furthermore, the invitation for competitive quotations suggests an environment that encourages smaller businesses to compete alongside larger firms, making it a potentially fertile ground for innovative suppliers looking to expand their footprint in public procurement.
