## Summary

UK Research and Innovation bought repair and maintenance services for a PNA network analyser. The requirement covers repair on a time-and-material basis, calibration and uncertainty work for each incident, and a one-year extended warranty following repair. The service is for UKRI’s measuring, testing and checking equipment and is delivered in the United Kingdom. UKRI is the buyer, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd managing the procurement as its shared service provider. This is a specialist instrumentation maintenance requirement rather than a general facilities or IT service. Businesses with expertise in PNA network analysers, calibration, measurement uncertainty and post-repair warranty support are the relevant market.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Keysight Technologies UK Limited. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and runs from 12 August 2026 to 11 August 2027. Its value is £11,592.50 excluding VAT, or £13,911 including VAT. The requirement was below the applicable threshold and awarded directly without competition because UKRI identified an absence of competition for technical reasons and considered that only a particular supplier could provide the required goods and services. There was one completed lot covering the full requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The evaluation route was therefore supplier suitability for the specified technical requirement rather than a competitive tender assessment.

This award shows demand from UKRI for specialist repair and maintenance of PNA network analysers, including incident-based calibration, measurement uncertainty work and an extended warranty after repair. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable technical competence with the relevant analyser equipment, the ability to diagnose and complete repairs using time-and-material arrangements, and the capability to provide reliable calibration and uncertainty results. Warranty support after repair is also part of the expected service model. Suppliers should be able to work with a central-government research organisation and support equipment used for precise measurement and testing. The direct award rationale indicates that technical specificity and supplier capability were decisive, so equipment-specific expertise and evidence of authorised or otherwise recognised competence would be important when competing for comparable work.
