## Summary

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) bought high-tension power supplies for HRPD-X, an instrument at the ISIS facility. The requirement is for electrical equipment and apparatus, with delivery to the United Kingdom. UKRI is the buying organisation; the contract concerns equipment supply rather than works or a service programme. The description identifies the intended instrument but gives no further technical specification or breakdown of the power supplies. Suppliers working in specialist electrical power equipment, particularly those able to supply high-tension units for scientific or research facilities, are the closest fit. This purchase sits within UKRI’s research infrastructure needs and relates specifically to the ISIS HRPD-X instrument.

The procurement is complete and awarded to KC Scientific Ltd; the contract is active and was signed on 25 September 2026. UKRI used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one lot, covering the high-tension power supplies. The contract period runs from 25 September 2026 to 31 January 2027. Its value is £28,725 excluding VAT and £34,470 including VAT. The award is active and identifies KC Scientific Ltd as the supplier. The procurement data does not give a separate award date or evaluation criteria, so the recorded signature date is the date reported for the contract outcome. The process was not a competitive tender, and no competing bids or scored evaluation basis are recorded.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence that UKRI buys specialist high-tension power supplies for the ISIS research facility, specifically for the HRPD-X instrument. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate that it can supply equipment suited to the instrument’s technical and operational needs, and deliver it reliably within a defined contract period. Experience supplying high-tension electrical equipment to scientific, research or other technically demanding environments would be relevant to establishing that fit. The route used here was a below-threshold direct award without competition, so suppliers should recognise that this particular purchase did not provide an open competitive contest or a published scoring model. The award provides a practical indication of UKRI’s requirement and the type of specialist equipment supplier selected.
