## Summary

The UK Research & Innovation recently awarded a contract for the supply of spares for the EPAC ns-Pump laser. The contract, valued at 152,427 GBP, was signed on 8th March 2024. The procurement method used was a limited tender procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The buying organisation, UK Research & Innovation, is based in Swindon, United Kingdom, and falls under the "Research" industry category. The procurement process for critical spares was completed, and it involved a single supplier due to technical reasons.

This awarded tender presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly those in the goods industry category and specialising in lasers, to engage with UK Research & Innovation. Suppliers like Photonic Solutions Ltd, an SME based in Edinburgh, have successfully secured the contract. Businesses that can provide critical spares for advanced capital assets, especially those with expertise in complex technical components, may find this type of procurement process well-suited for competition.
