Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh has completed a tender for the fabrication and installation of an Automated Watering System, valued at approximately USD 341,500. The procurement was conducted through a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the absence of competition for technical reasons. The process was initiated on 5th October 2018, with the contract awarded on 3rd October 2018. The main delivery point for this project is located at the Edinburgh bioQuarter, 9 Little France Rd, Edinburgh EH16 4TL, and it falls under the education industry category.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in biotechnology or automated systems, to expand their reach and capabilities. Large firms with expertise in similar infrastructure projects, such as automated watering systems or environmental controls in lab settings, would be well-positioned to capitalise on such government contracts. The successful bidder, Edstrom Industries LLC, highlights the potential for international firms to engage in Scottish public procurement, especially those with innovative solutions that address the specific technical requirements of the project.
