Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for a compact geometry, dual source Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometer was conducted by the University of Edinburgh, a central purchasing body located at Charles Stewart House, 9-16 Chambers Street, Edinburgh, UK. This tender was completed with an award made to CAMECA, the sole manufacturer of the specified technology, under a limited procurement method that did not require prior publication of a call for competition. The tender was officially awarded on 31st October 2017, and the total contract value is £2,319,000. The primary industry category for this procurement is goods, specifically within the education sector.

This tender represents a unique business opportunity for companies in the high-tech instruments and scientific equipment sectors, particularly those specialising in mass spectrometry or related analytical technologies. Given that CAMECA was the sole supplier for this contract, it indicates a niche market with limited competition, suggesting that firms with innovative solutions or technologies that meet educational or analytical requirements may find suitable openings in similar future tenders. Businesses seeking growth in the educational or research markets should consider aligning their offerings with the specific needs of institutions like the University of Edinburgh.
