## Summary

The UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) has initiated a public procurement process for the tender titled "UKRI-1417 Mirror Mount Motorized Actuators And Controller(s)" within the lasers industry category. Located in Swindon, South East England, this tender is currently in the active planning stage and is set to conclude on 23rd February 2022. The estimated value of the procurement is £300,000, and the selected supplier will provide a motion control system for a new laser facility, requiring a modular and expandable system capable of handling approximately 150 to 200 motorised actuators.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the engineering, technology, or manufacturing sectors, particularly those specialising in motion control systems or automation technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the tender is open for competition under an open procedure, allowing a broad range of suppliers to propose their solutions. Companies that can offer innovative, scalable systems with compatibility for external software control will be well-positioned to compete successfully.

## Notice

UKRI-STFC require a motion control system for a new laser facility. The motion control system needs to include motorised actuators which can be controlled so that multiple actuators can be moved at the same time. It is expected that approximately 150 - 200 actuators will be needed in the system, although the full complement will not need to be moved at the same time. This system will evolve over time and so will need to be modular in nature and capable of expansion at a later date. The motion system provided must include a means by which control can be achieved using external software.
