Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the University of Edinburgh as the buying organisation, which has initiated a tender titled "NCA21055 Stereo Imager IGC" to acquire stereomicroscopes for its advanced Imaging Facility. This procurement, categorised under goods and classified as "Microscopes," is currently at the Award stage. The active contract, valued at £124,694, was signed on 18 November 2021, with a single bid submitted by a foreign operator due to the limited procurement method employed, which did not require prior publication of a call for competition. This process is covered under the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA).

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced imaging technology and laboratory equipment, particularly those that manufacture or supply microscopes. As the contract has been awarded, firms with capabilities in high-quality stereomicroscopes may find potential for future tenders from the University of Edinburgh or similar institutions, especially those focusing on technical specifications that may require unique solutions not offered by a broad range of suppliers.
