Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh has completed a procurement process for the upgrade of their Orbitrap Velos Pro mass spectrometry system to an Orbitrap Elite system. This project, classified under the education and medical research industries, has been carried out as an open tender process with a total contract value of approximately £130,040.87, signed on 14 June 2017. The delivery of the upgrade is to be executed at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell Biology in Edinburgh, UK. The initiation of this procurement was formally recorded on 15 September 2017.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for suppliers in the medical research and laboratory equipment sectors, particularly those specialised in mass spectrometry and chromatography technologies. Given that Thermo Fisher Scientific, the sole supplier capable of providing the necessary upgrade due to patent restrictions, was awarded the contract, businesses in related fields may explore partnerships or alternative offerings in advanced analytical equipment and services that could align with the University’s future needs and similar public contracts.
