Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh, located in Edinburgh, UK, has completed a tender process for the procurement of a high-resolution preclinical ultrasound scanner, titled "NCA30796 Pre-Clinical Ultrasound Chancellors." This procurement falls under the education industry category and was conducted through a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued at €386,285, was awarded to FUJIFILM VisualSonics Inc on 14 December 2018, aiming to replace an outdated model that lacks support. The delivery is expected to be carried out at the University’s Centre for Cardiovascular Science.

This tender represents a growth opportunity particularly for technology firms specialising in medical equipment, especially those with innovative ultrasound solutions. Suppliers with a strong background in healthcare technology, particularly those developing cutting-edge imaging devices, could significantly benefit from engaging in procurement processes with educational institutions like the University of Edinburgh. Such contracts can enhance supply chains within the healthcare sector, fostering collaborations that lead to advancements in medical research and patient care.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Under Regulation Reg 33(1)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, a contracting authority may use the negotiated procedure without the prior publication in the case of a public contract, based on the following justification: 2. Competition is absent for technical reasons (only if it is not caused by artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement and no reasonable alternative or substitute exists);

Options: If budget allows, we may order an extension to the service contract. This is only limited to 12 months after the initial 2 years cover.

Procurement Information

We wish to purchase a high resolution preclinical ultrasound scanner to replace our current model which we purchased 10 years ago and which is no longer supported by the company. Additionally since our last purchase, there has been a step-change in hardware technology which now limit the utility of the scanner in providing data necessary for high quality/impact research.
