The University of Leeds has awarded a contract on 14 October 2024 for the "FAAM Spectral Radiometers v2" project. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically classified as "Apparatus for measuring radiation." The procurement utilised a limited method, justified by the need for interoperability with existing Ocean Optics equipment, and did not include a prior publication of a call for competition. The project location is in Leeds, UK, within the UKE42 region. Ocean Optics, a large company based in Oxford, won the contract valued at £63,454. The procurement stage is complete.
