Summary of the contracting process

The University of Leeds recently completed a procurement process to upgrade their electron microscopy equipment, valued at £1,198,000. This contract was awarded under a selective procurement method, specifically using a restricted procedure since it exceeded the financial threshold. The procurement stage has reached the award phase, with the contract expected to commence on 15 May 2019 and run until 14 March 2020. The equipment is being sourced for delivery to Yorkshire and the Humber region.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the supply of scientific equipment or technology, particularly those able to deliver high-quality electron microscopy instruments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could find a particularly advantageous position to compete for future tenders in this space, given the University of Leeds' interest in engaging SMEs. As the demand for advanced microscopy equipment grows in research and educational institutions, companies that excel in innovation and offer robust support services may find lucrative opportunities within similar future contracts.
