The procurement aims to enhance information extraction capabilities from dynamic testing. This procurement is situated in Salisbury, United Kingdom, and follows an open procedure. The latest phase involves a contract amendment due to unforeseen circumstances impacting the necessary groundwork, extending the contract period until 30th September 2027. Prior stages have seen active contract awards, such as to Dynamic Research Innovations Incorporated, with contracts initially signed on 5th December 2025 and valued at a gross amount of £265,920. These contracts involved procuring equipment and included an option for a 24-month extended warranty. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in high-speed X-ray technology and related equipment. Small and medium-sized enterprises with capabilities in X-ray systems and dynamic testing technologies could be well-positioned to meet the tender requirements, especially given the emphasis on advanced technological solutions. The procurement process favours those who can demonstrate cost-efficiency combined with meeting specific quality threshold criteria. Businesses that can provide comprehensive systems including X-Ray generators, scintillator screens, and the associated mounting structure, along with offering support for installation and training, are likely to be competitive contenders in this contract opportunity. ## Notice Defence Science Technologies Laboratories has a new requirement which seeks to utilise high-speed X-ray technology to enable additional information to be extracted from dynamic testing that is currently achievable. To fulfil this equipment requirement, tenders are requested to provide a high speed x-ray system, expected to consist of X-Ray generator, scintillator screen and associated mounting structure, with a potential need to support installation and then training on the system. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Options: There is a potential for a future repeat requirement for the successful tenderer, however this is subject to further internal approvals and will be in future financial years. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/057940-2026 | | Notice type | UK10 - Contract Change Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | 18 Sep 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 18 Nov 2025 | | Contract period | 5 Dec 2025 - 31 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £240,000 | | Lots value | £240,000 | | Awards value | £221,600 | | Contracts value | £221,600 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active, Pending | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEFENCE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LABORATORY | | Locality | SALISBURY | | Post town | Salisbury | | Postcode | SP4 0JQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK72 Wiltshire | | Local authority | Wiltshire | | Electoral ward | Winterslow & Upper Bourne Valley | | Westminster constituency | Salisbury | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | DYNAMIC RESEARCH INNOVATIONS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 24 - Chemical products - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 24931230 - X-ray developers - 33111800 - Diagnostic X-ray system - 38947000 - X-ray microanalysers ## Release History - 19 Jun 2026 at 10:06 - ContractAmendment - UK10 - Contract Change Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/057940-2026 - 15 Dec 2025 at 12:52 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/082877-2025 - 18 Nov 2025 at 16:15 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/074923-2025 - 21 Aug 2025 at 12:15 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050530-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/057940-2026 19th June 2026 - Contract change notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/082877-2025 15th December 2025 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/074923-2025 18th November 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050530-2025 21st August 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://contracts.mod.uk/esop/guest/go/opportunity/detail?opportunityId=60134 - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/defence-science-and-technology-laborator - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
