Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh is conducting a procurement process for the award of Ultra-low Temperature Freezers, essential for biomedical research. This procurement falls under the goods category and is set within the location of Edinburgh. The tender process began on 4th July 2019 and is planned to conclude by 3rd July 2024. The contract was awarded on 4th July 2019, with a total value of £38,365.62, and it aims to provide installation across various institutes such as the Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences and the National CJD Research & Surveillance Unit, which are located in the Chancellor's Building and Western General Hospital, respectively.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in medical equipment and cryogenic technology, particularly those capable of supplying freezers that operate at temperatures down to -150°C without liquid nitrogen cooling. Suppliers that have expertise in biomedical equipment, specifically those with experience in similar installations and sustainability measures, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Companies looking to expand their portfolio in the healthcare sector could greatly benefit from participating in this procurement process.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Award of Ultra-low Temperature Freezers

Notice Description

Cryogenic freezers for use in biomedical research, to be purchased across a period of 5 years, for installation in various locations and institutes across the University of Edinburgh. The immediate requirement is for replacement systems for the Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences (CCBS) in the Chancellor's Building at 49 Little France Crescent, Edinburgh, EH16 4SB; and the National CJD Research & Surveillance Unit (NCJDRSN) at the Western General Hospital, Crewe Road, Edinburgh, EH4 2XU. Other planned and work in progress developments including the Institute for Regeneration and Repair(IRR) and the 'New Biology' project (Darwin) will also require congruent equipment.The CCBS and NCJDRSN plans foresee an initial tranche of 2 required immediately; thereafter a further 4 by Q2 of 2018; a further 4 by end of calendar year 2018, and an estimated 10 additional units within the 5-year timeframe. Operating temperatures down to -150degC are required. For sustainability and simplified infrastructure reasons, the University prefers a solution that does not require liquid nitrogen cooling. The number of units required for IRR, Darwin and other projects are yet to be finalised but are expected to be of a similar order of magnitude, although not necessarily the same operating temperature range.
