Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process details the acquisition of a Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometer by the University of Bath, a higher education institution in the UK, specifically located in Bath. This procurement falls under the "goods" category, specifically involving mass spectrometers, and covers regions including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. The procurement method used was a limited procedure, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to its classification as outside the directive's scope. The process has proceeded to the award and contract stage, as evidenced by the status of the procurement being marked as "complete," with the contract signed on 4th December 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of sophisticated laboratory equipment, particularly mass spectrometry and chromatography tools, to collaborate with educational institutions. Although the tender is already awarded, businesses within this industry can leverage similar opportunities by maintaining awareness of contracts and establishing their credentials within framework agreements like LAB1029 AP. Large-scale suppliers, such as Agilent Technologies LDA UK Limited, who successfully secured the contract with a value of £95,000, would have a competitive edge due to their capabilities to meet high standards and deliver complex scientific equipment to entities like the University of Bath.
