Summary of the contracting process

The University of Dundee has completed the procurement process for the supply of a Single Cell Isolation Sorting & Dispensing System, a high-precision laboratory equipment. This procurement falls under the category of 'Laboratory, optical and precision equipment'. The contracting process reached the award stage on 10th February 2025, with the contract signed on 4th February 2025. The procurement was executed through a limited procedure and was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition due to the unique technical requirements that only the CellenOne X1 NEO could fulfil. The system will be delivered to the University of Dundee, School of Life Sciences, Dundee, Scotland, UK.

This tender presents a significant business opportunity, primarily for companies involved in the supply of advanced laboratory and precision instruments. Businesses specialising in single cell proteomics and related technologies would find this kind of procurement particularly relevant as it creates avenues for collaboration and future supply opportunities. Due to the specialised nature of the equipment, large-scale suppliers with the capability to deliver highly technical and precise laboratory apparatus are best suited to compete in such tenders. This award highlights the importance of niche market expertise and specialised product offerings in securing high-value contracts.
