## Summary

The tender process for the procurement of a Solid State Power Amplifier for cavity testing at the SuRF Laboratory has been completed by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a central government public authority headquartered at Polaris House in Swindon, Wiltshire. The contract was awarded on 10th February 2026 and spans from 11th February to 30th April 2026, with an award value of £27,010 GBP. This procurement falls within the goods category, specifically amplifiers, and employs a limited competition method, being below the threshold. The amplifiers are to be delivered to a location designated as UKD61 in the United Kingdom, supporting the scientific pursuits of STFC's Daresbury Laboratory.

This contract presents growth opportunities for businesses in the specialised field of power amplifiers, particularly those focusing on scientific and laboratory environments. Companies like Microwave Amplifiers Ltd, which won this tender, exemplify the type of enterprise that can benefit from such contracts. Firms with expertise in manufacturing high-quality amplifiers and related electronic components will find this industry ripe for competitive bidding and partnership with key research institutions like UKRI. As the procurement method did not require open competition, niche businesses with specific capabilities might be better positioned to secure similar contracts in the future, aiding their market expansion efforts.
