Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the University of Edinburgh, which has recently awarded a contract for the "Laser & Spinning Disc Confocal Upgrade" project. This initiative falls under the goods category within the education industry and is located in Edinburgh, UK. The procurement was executed through an open procedure, and it has reached the award stage as of 24th July 2017, with a contract value of £59,865. The contract was awarded to Carl Zeiss Ltd, reflecting the non-competitive nature due to the unique specifications required for the upgrades and associated installations.

This opportunity could significantly benefit companies specialising in high-precision scientific equipment, particularly those focused on optical systems and imaging technologies. Given the specific nature of the product, businesses that can provide compatible parts, delivery, and installation services similar to those offered by the original manufacturer would be well-positioned to compete in future tenders of this kind. Such contracts highlight the importance of innovation and build potential partnerships for companies in the advanced manufacturing and educational technology sectors.
