## Summary

UK Research and Innovation has completed a procurement process for the purchase of collimators and optical fibres essential for modular rubidium and cesium laser systems. This acquisition falls under the 'goods' industry category with direct procurement, conducted without competition as only a specific supplier could meet the requirements. The contracting authority, a central government public authority located in Swindon, finalised this contract with Schafter+Kirchhoff GmbH, effective between 28th August 2025 and 9th October 2025, for a value of £20,806.50.

This contract represents limited new business opportunities as it was awarded without a competitive process; however, it highlights the specific high-tech components that UK Research and Innovation is interested in acquiring, which could inform future tender opportunities for related goods and services. Businesses operating within the laser and optical fibre industries, particularly those capable of supplying specialised equipment, may find similar opportunities in upcoming procurements from central government bodies. Innovators in these fields should monitor for calls for competition where broader supplier engagement is sought.
