## Summary

The recent procurement process led by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), based in Swindon, Wiltshire, pertains to the acquisition of a camera system (tender reference: UKRI-5233), specifically a pair of gCMOS cameras for measuring single optical photons. This procurement belongs to the goods category, focusing on camera equipment, and follows a direct procurement method, categorised as below threshold and conducted without competition. The awarding stage was completed with the contract awarded on 11th September 2025 to HAMAMATSU PHOTONICS UK LTD. The contract, valued at £72,030 gross (£60,025 net), is scheduled to commence on 12th September 2025 and conclude on 31st March 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in optical and photonics technologies, especially those with expertise in camera and imaging systems. Although this particular procurement process was conducted directly with HAMAMATSU PHOTONICS UK LTD, which is a large supplier, businesses of various sizes within the related technology industries could benefit by positioning themselves as potential partners or subcontractors. Future tenders of a similar nature from UKRI could open pathways for SMEs and startups in the engineering sector to engage with large-scale government projects and expand their market presence.
