Summary of the contracting process

The University of Salford procured a new electromyography (EMG) system for teaching and research. The purchase is intended to directly replace the university’s existing EMG system and integrate with its current systems. This is a goods requirement, classified under clinical products, for use by the University of Salford in Salford. The requirement is therefore relevant to suppliers of EMG equipment and associated clinical or research laboratory systems, particularly those able to provide a replacement system that works with existing university infrastructure. The procurement covers the system itself rather than a broader clinical service, construction project or general information technology supply.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 13 August 2026 to DELSYS EUROPE LTD. The award value is £48,915 gross. The contract period runs from 13 August 2026 to 10 August 2028. The University of Salford used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition, after obtaining three quotes. The tender was arranged as one completed lot. The award is active, and a contract signature milestone was scheduled for 13 August 2026. The selected supplier is DELSYS EUROPE LTD, a small or medium-sized enterprise. The stated basis for the purchase was replacement of the current EMG system and integration with existing systems, rather than a competitive evaluation of published bids.

For suppliers assessing future demand from the University of Salford, this award indicates a requirement for specialist EMG equipment supporting university teaching and research. A credible competitor would need to supply a complete replacement system, demonstrate compatibility with existing systems, and support integration into an established academic environment. Relevant capability includes knowledge of electromyography and clinical or research laboratory equipment, together with the technical ability to configure and integrate replacement hardware. The award to an SME shows that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist supplier rather than only by a large general contractor. Businesses with a focused EMG product range and experience supplying higher-education or research users would be well placed to monitor similar requirements from this buyer.
