## Summary

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) bought a service agreement for its JIB 4700F instrument. The work is repair and maintenance services for this specific equipment, rather than a general facilities or equipment-maintenance requirement. UKRI is the buyer, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd managing the procurement. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery location is identified. The requirement concerns ongoing service support for the named instrument, so it is most relevant to suppliers able to maintain and support JIB 4700F equipment and meet the manufacturer-specific technical requirements.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. UKRI awarded the single lot directly, without competition, on technical grounds: the stated rationale was that only a particular supplier could provide the required service. JEOL (U.K.) Limited was selected, and the contract was signed on 27 September 2026. Its period runs from 28 to 29 September 2026. The contract value is £18,456.88 excluding VAT, or £22,148.26 including VAT. The procurement was below the applicable threshold. The contract covers the service agreement for JIB 4700F; no separate award evaluation criteria are reported.

This award demonstrates demand from UKRI for specialist repair and maintenance support for a JIB 4700F instrument, procured on the basis that technical reasons restricted supply to a particular provider. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need demonstrable expertise in servicing this specific equipment, access to the necessary technical knowledge and parts, and the ability to deliver the required support reliably. The award to JEOL (U.K.) Limited indicates that the buyer selected the UK supplier associated with the instrument’s manufacturer; suppliers without relevant product-specific capability are unlikely to be well placed. This is a focused specialist service requirement, suited to firms with proven JIB 4700F maintenance experience rather than general repair contractors.
