## Summary

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), for the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), procured a large-format in-vacuum X-ray CCD camera for EPAC and Gemini operations. This is specialist scientific imaging equipment, within the broader category of testing and measuring apparatus. Delivery is in Oxfordshire.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. One lot was awarded to Teledyne UK Ltd following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 24 September 2026 and runs from 24 September to 31 December 2026. Its value is £74,000 excluding VAT (£88,800 including VAT).

For suppliers assessing comparable future requirements from UKRI and STFC, this award indicates demand for a large-format in-vacuum X-ray CCD camera for specialist scientific operations. A credible competitor would need to supply equipment meeting that imaging requirement and demonstrate the capability to support its use in EPAC and Gemini operations. The selected supplier, Teledyne UK Ltd, is a large company.
