We wanted to share a quick update on what’s happening in the market and what it means for you. Right now, global component shortages, ongoing supply chain disruption and rising demand (especially driven by AI infrastructure) are continuing to impact pricing and availability across the industry.

So, what’s changing?

• All pricing is now quotation-based only
• Price lists have been withdrawn for the time being
• Quotes will be valid for 7 days
• Orders must be placed within this period to secure pricing
• Pricing can’t be guaranteed outside of the validity window

We know that’s a shift, especially if you’re used to fixed pricing, and we really appreciate your understanding. These changes simply allow us to keep things fair and accurate, rather than passing on unexpected costs later.

Lead times are currently 20–25 working days due to high demand and limited supply. The good news is, we’re actively investing in improving this and doing everything we can to get orders out faster.

We’re also committed to being transparent – if costs come down, we’ll pass those savings straight back to you. If you can, please share this update with your wider team and customers so there are no surprises when placing orders.

As always, if you’ve got any questions or need support on a project, we’re here to help.
