UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff University procured maintenance services for its existing magnetoencephalography (MEG) equipment. The work covers maintenance of specialist medical and precision equipment, rather than a purchase of new equipment. Cardiff University is the buying organisation, and delivery is in Cardiff, Wales. The requirement was arranged as a single lot and concerns the university’s existing MEG system. This is a specialist equipment-maintenance requirement for suppliers with relevant technical capability in MEG systems and experience supporting equipment used in a university or research setting.

The procurement is complete: Cardiff University selected CTF MEG Neuro Innovations Inc. and signed an active contract. The contract was awarded through a direct procedure below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026, runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027, and is valued at £94,000 excluding VAT (£112,800 including VAT). There was one lot, covering the MEG maintenance service. The published procurement details give no separate award date, award criteria or evaluation basis, so the outcome is reported without attributing a scoring method or competitive assessment.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates Cardiff University’s demand for ongoing maintenance of existing MEG equipment: a specialist service requirement delivered under a single contract and handled through a direct, below-threshold route. A credible competitor for comparable future work would need demonstrable technical expertise in MEG systems, the ability to maintain the relevant existing equipment, and capacity to provide reliable support throughout the service term. Experience with medical and precision equipment maintenance, particularly in a research or university environment, would be relevant to establishing that capability. The selected supplier is a Canadian SME, showing that the work was awarded to a specialist provider rather than being limited to a large domestic contractor.
