## Summary

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) procured a service visit for a Magna laser. The requirement is specialist laser servicing and maintenance, rather than the supply of a new laser. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement for UKRI. The delivery location is in the United Kingdom; no more specific location is identified. This is a single service requirement, focused on maintaining the Magna laser. It is relevant to suppliers able to service this equipment and provide the technical support needed for a maintenance visit. The recorded work falls within repair and maintenance services (CPV 50000000).

The procurement is complete: AMPLITUDE was selected and awarded the contract. UKRI used a direct award without competition, stating that technical reasons meant only one supplier could provide the required service. The procurement was below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026, runs from 1 October 2026 to 26 February 2027, and is valued at €14,635. There is one lot, covering the Magna laser service visit. The award is active and the contract is active. No award evaluation criteria are recorded, consistent with the stated route without competition.

For suppliers considering similar future work for UKRI, this award shows demand for a focused service visit on a Magna laser, not a broad maintenance programme. A credible competitor would need demonstrable technical ability to service this specific laser equipment and to explain how its expertise meets the buyer’s technical requirement. The stated reason for selecting a sole supplier makes equipment-specific capability particularly important: general repair experience alone may not establish that a supplier can perform the required service. Suppliers should be able to support a maintenance visit in the United Kingdom and demonstrate the capacity to deliver the specialist work. The buyer’s use of a direct award in this instance indicates that the technical case and availability of a capable supplier were central to the route used.
