Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the High Speed Nanoindenter by the University of Warwick, classified under the CPV code 38000000, was conducted as an open procedure for the supply of laboratory, optical and precision equipment, excluding glasses. The University, located in Coventry (region UKG33), is the buying organisation, acting not as a contracting authority under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, hence operating outside the typical regulatory obligations. The procurement status has progressed from tender to award stage, with the contract awarded to Bruker UK Ltd on 12 May 2025 for £115,000 GBP. The tender period concluded on 21 February 2025. The project delivery is expected within a contract period from 24 March 2025 to 23 March 2026.

This opportunity, with a focus on high-value technical equipment, presents substantial growth prospects for businesses specialising in precision instruments and laboratory equipment. The University of Warwick's procurement approach underlines an openness to competitive bidding, making it ideal for enterprises looking to establish or expand their market presence within the educational sector. Companies with strengths in providing advanced measurement tools and supporting after-sales and sustainability services would find themselves well-suited to meet the demands of the procurement criteria, where 65% emphasis was placed on quality attributes like specification, performance, and sustainability, and 35% on price considerations.
