Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the University of Dundee aims to secure services for the maintenance and repair of autoclaves across its premises, primarily in the School of Life Science. The contract was awarded to Audere Medical Services Ltd and involves a fixed-term service agreement lasting three years with possible extensions. Under the open procedure, the procurement fell under the services category, with bids evaluated primarily on quality technical aspects (60%) and pricing (40%). The award was officially signed on 28th March 2025, with Audere Medical Services Ltd emerging as the successful bidder.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in repair and maintenance services, particularly those capable of providing high-quality technical services for specialised equipment like autoclaves. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can gain substantial business growth by competing in such tenders, given that all four qualified bidders, including the awarded supplier, were SMEs. Companies with expertise in university environments and the flexibility to manage installations university-wide would find this type of procurement advantageous. The open procurement method offers all qualified suppliers an equal opportunity to engage with public institutions like the University of Dundee, fostering growth and expansion within the industry.
