## Summary

UK Research and Innovation bought an image intensifier tube, identified as PP2365BZ. This is specialist optical and precision laboratory equipment, used to intensify images; the procurement description does not state a more specific application or technical specification. The purchase was managed by UK Shared Business Services Ltd, acting as the shared service provider. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement was a single-lot purchase of goods, rather than a service or works requirement. This provides a clear indication of the type of scientific detector equipment UK Research and Innovation sources, and the specialist supplier market relevant to that requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to EXOSENS. The award is active, and the contract is also active. The contract was signed on 29 September 2026 and runs from 29 September to 29 December 2026. Its stated value is €20,761. The buyer used a below-threshold limited competition, rather than an open procedure. The requirement was handled as one lot. The procurement description says the purchase followed a limited competition exercise. The available award information identifies the equipment and successful supplier, but gives no evaluation criteria or further explanation of how bids were assessed.

This award shows demand from UK Research and Innovation for specialist image intensifier tubes, within the laboratory, optical and precision equipment market. A supplier seeking to compete when this specific requirement returns would need to supply the required tube and demonstrate that its product meets the buyer’s technical and performance needs. The selected supplier, EXOSENS, is identified as an SME, indicating that this specialist equipment purchase was won by a smaller supplier rather than necessarily requiring a large corporate provider. The limited-competition route means credible suppliers may need to be identifiable to the buyer and able to respond to an invitation to compete. The available description does not establish requirements for particular accreditations, production capacity or prior contract experience.
