Summary of the contracting process

Aston University, based in Birmingham, has concluded a procurement process for a service contract titled "Mass Spectrometer Service Contract" within the industry category of installation services of laboratory equipment (CPV 51430000). This direct procurement method, via a single tender action below the threshold, has resulted in the contract being awarded to Waters Ltd for a total value of £92,000. The procurement stage is now at the award phase, with the contract period slated to commence on 1 November 2024 and continue until 31 October 2026. The procurement process was active from 31 October 2024 and finalised on 1 November 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment services, particularly those with expertise in maintaining and servicing mass spectrometers. Although this particular contract was awarded directly, it highlights the demand for niche services within the academic and research sectors. Firms capable of providing high-quality, preventative maintenance and installation services are well-positioned to capitalise on similar opportunities in the future. Companies that can demonstrate reliability and technical proficiency can leverage such contracts to build credibility and expand their client base in the specialised field of laboratory equipment maintenance.
