## Summary

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) sought to procure a Wire Electrical Discharge Machining Machine, specifically the SODI-TECH ALC600G CNC Wire-cut EDM machine, under the category of metal-working machining centres. This procurement aimed to replace an ageing EDM machine. The procurement was carried out by the UKAEA, located at Culham Campus, Abingdon, Oxfordshire (region code UKJ14). The procurement process, identified by the ID 003628-2025 and classified as limited under the CPV code 42638000, was unsuccessful as the sole received bid was non-compliant. This decision was formalised on February 4, 2025, culminating in the contract being labelled as unsuccessful and cancelled.

This tender opportunity was significant for businesses involved in the manufacture and supply of high-precision metal-working machinery. Although the procurement process was unsuccessful, had it been successful, it would have presented a substantial growth opportunity for suppliers of CNC machinery, particularly those with experience in electrical discharge machining equipment. Companies specialising in high-precision, numerically controlled machine tools for metal finishing could have benefitted from this tender. Despite the tender's outcome, such opportunities indicate potential future openings in this industry for compliant and competitive bids.
