Summary of the contracting process

The University of Plymouth, located in Plymouth, England, has completed a public procurement process for laboratory equipment, specifically for very specific laboratory wind turbine equipment. This procurement falls under the industry category of laboratory furniture (CPV code 39180000) and was executed using a direct procurement method through a single tender action, as it was below the threshold. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with a contract period from 26 November 2024 to 26 February 2025. The total value of the contract is £199,300, and the equipment is to be delivered to the South West region of the United Kingdom. Didactic Services Ltd, an SME based in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, has been awarded the contract.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the supply of laboratory equipment, particularly those targeting niche, high-specification requirements. It also highlights the potential for SMEs to secure contracts with higher education institutions. Companies with expertise in laboratory furniture and equipment manufacturing would be well-suited to pursue similar opportunities, especially those capable of meeting the precise needs of academic research facilities. SMEs looking to expand their clientele within the educational sector may find such direct procurement methods advantageous and should consider engaging in future tenders from the University of Plymouth or similar organisations.
