## Summary

The procurement process for the provision of a Langmuir-Blodgett trough has been managed by UK Research and Innovation, leading to an award made on 15th August 2025. This initiative, part of a completed contract under the legal basis of the UKPGA 2023/54, falls under the industry category of laboratory, optical and precision equipment. The contract, valued at £18,946.30, was directly awarded to Biolin Scientific AB without competition due to technical reasons, under the "Below threshold - without competition" procurement method. Key addresses include Swindon, United Kingdom, which is the hub for UK Research and Innovation and UK Shared Business Services Ltd, the procuring entity.

This tender presents a unique opportunity primarily for suppliers specialised in customised laboratory equipment capable of meeting specific technical requirements, particularly those in the atmospheric and surface sciences domain. Although this process didn’t involve open competition, businesses in the laboratory equipment industry could benefit from focusing on niche market demands and positioning themselves for potential future opportunities with organisations like UK Research and Innovation. Given the nature of this contract, companies equipped with technical capabilities for innovative solutions are well-suited to pursue similar procurements in the public sector.
