## Summary

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) bought a Zoller & Fröhlich Imager Scanner and accessories for the British Antarctic Survey. This is a specialist scanning equipment supply, classified as scanners, for use in the Survey’s work. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, in the UKH12 area. The named supplier is based in Wangen im Allgäu, Germany. The purchase covers the scanner and its accessories; no further technical specification or operational purpose is described in the procurement information.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. UKRI used a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot. Zoller and Frohlich GmbH was awarded the contract. It was signed on 6 October 2026, with a contract period from 12 October to 30 November 2026. The contract value is £74,712 including gross value. The award is recorded as active; no separate award date is provided. The procurement information identifies scanners as the category but does not set out evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements.

This purchase demonstrates demand from UKRI, for the British Antarctic Survey, for specialist imager scanning equipment and associated accessories. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need to provide equipment suited to the Survey’s stated scanning need, together with the relevant accessories and delivery to the UKH12 area. The selected supplier is a large German equipment company, showing that the requirement was met by a specialist supplier through limited competition below the threshold. Credibility for similar work would therefore rest on supplying the specified scanner equipment and accessories, with the capacity to fulfil a discrete equipment order for a UK public research organisation. No particular accreditation, service support, installation work or technical performance criteria are described.
