Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh is initiating a public procurement process for the acquisition and installation of a Combined CT Scanner and Gantry System, aimed at enhancing multi-area imaging capabilities at the Equine Diagnostic, Surgical, and Critical Care Unit (EDSCCU) at Easter Bush Campus, Edinburgh. The procurement is in the planning stage, with the market being informed through a Prior Information Notice (PIN). Interested suppliers must register their interest by 17 December 2025. This significant procurement, valued at £1.7 million, falls under the goods category with a particular focus on CT scanners and is scheduled for completion by June 2027. The procurement process opens opportunities for a lease to buy or payment plan spanning 5 to 10 years, and the University seeks detailed initial proposals from potential bidders including indicative costs and examples of past similar installations.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, especially for companies specialising in medical imaging equipment and those with experience in providing advanced CT scanning solutions. Businesses that can demonstrate prior successful installations of similar systems, ideally within equine and small animal diagnostics, will find themselves well-suited to compete. Suppliers who are capable of offering flexible payment solutions and have a strong understanding of the technical and logistical requirements for such installations will have a competitive edge. The presence of a robust academic and research infrastructure at the University further anchors this procurement as an exciting opportunity for companies seeking to make significant contributions to veterinary and medical imaging advancements.
