Summary of the contracting process

The Defra Network eTendering Portal is overseeing the awarded contract for the upgrade of a Zeiss EVO Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), classified under the industry category of microscopes. The procurement, which utilised a direct procurement method as a single tender action below the threshold, has been completed, with the contract period running from 10 March 2021 to 9 March 2022. The total contract value is £20,000 and was officially awarded on 30 March 2020. The delivery address is located in the South East region of the United Kingdom, specifically postal code KT15 3NB.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in scientific equipment upgrades and those involved in precision engineering or microscopy-related services. Companies that can provide innovative solutions or maintenance for complex scientific apparatus would be particularly well-suited to compete in future tenders of a similar nature. Large or established firms, rather than small and medium enterprises, are more likely to have the requisite capabilities for such highly technical projects.
