## Summary

UK Research and Innovation procured an X-ray camera-related technical service: the supply of a HEXITEC detector control API, automated calibration and real-time X-ray trigger synchronisation. The requirement supports the control and operation of an X-ray detector through software integration, calibration automation and synchronised triggering. It is classified as X-ray devices (CPV 33111000), although the described requirement is focused on associated control software and technical functionality rather than the supply of a complete camera. UKRI is the buying organisation, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd managing the procurement as its shared service provider. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement comprised one lot and was awarded to FINDEN LTD, an Oxford-based small and medium-sized enterprise.

This is an awarded and completed procurement following a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made to FINDEN LTD on 31 July 2026. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 1 December 2026. The awarded contract value is £30,825 excluding VAT, or £36,990 including VAT. The procurement used a limited procedure and consisted of one completed lot. The award covers goods as classified in the procurement record, with the requirement described as HEXITEC detector control API, automated calibration and real-time X-ray trigger synchronisation. FINDEN LTD is recorded as the active supplier, and the contract is recorded as active. The opportunity was evaluated through the limited competition exercise used by UKRI.

This procurement indicates demand from UKRI for specialist X-ray detector control and integration capability, particularly where hardware operation depends on reliable software interfaces. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable requirements would need practical expertise in developing or supplying detector control APIs, automating calibration workflows and synchronising real-time X-ray triggers. Credibility would depend on demonstrating that these functions can operate together accurately and reliably in a research or technical environment, with sufficient engineering capacity to configure, test and support the solution. Experience of X-ray devices or related scientific instrumentation would be directly relevant. The selected supplier was an Oxford-based SME, showing that a specialist smaller business can meet this type of requirement. Competitors should therefore be able to evidence focused technical expertise rather than broad general procurement capability.
