Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh is seeking a qualified provider for a Maintenance Agreement concerning a Solarix Mass Spectrometer and an UltrafleXtreme Mass Spectrometer, classified under the education industry category.

Maintenance agreement for a Solarix Mass Spectrometer & UltrafleXtreme Mass Spectrometer

Procurement Information

A public tender is considered inappropriate due to the complex nature of the equipment involved, which consists of various different component parts from specialist control boards and software to high value high performance magnets and the required expertise needed to be familiar with any software or technical developments that may have taken place or be imminent, this is further compounded by the limitations of 3rd parties to access suitable tools to carry out this work. The OEM Bruker do not give access to their diagnostic software or sell replacement parts to third parties therefore it is felt that only the original equipment manufacturer is qualified and has access to the software & spares making them the only viable option to carry out this work to the required level.
