This procurement is part of the medical equipment industry and is being conducted through the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation.

The competitive procedure with negotiation offers suppliers the chance to refine their offerings to meet stringent quality and price criteria, with community benefits being a key part of this procurement exercise. The framework spans a contract period of up to four years with renewal options, fostering long-term business relationships and supporting the University of Glasgow’s commitment to fair work and social value initiatives.
