Summary of the contracting process

The University of Dundee has recently completed a procurement process for the supply, delivery, and installation of a Triple View Lightsheet Microscope. This procurement falls under the goods category, as part of their extensive market research which identified suitable suppliers. The procedure was a limited tendering process, conducted without prior publication of a call for competition, aiming to meet the specific requirements established for microscopy and imaging. The contract was awarded on 23rd March 2018 and was delivered to the University’s School of Life Sciences located in Dundee, UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the microscopy and imaging sector, particularly those capable of providing advanced scientific equipment.

With the increasing demand for advanced laboratory equipment, suppliers keen on entering or expanding their presence in the academic and research sectors should consider engaging with the University of Dundee and similar institutions.
