Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh has successfully completed the procurement process for a Ti2-E Inverted Microscope, which falls under the education category within the goods sector. This open tender was awarded to Nikon UK, with the contract valued at £82,010.46 and signed on 10 June 2019. The delivery location for this procurement is specified as the School of Biomedical Sciences, Hugh Robson Building, George Square, Edinburgh, EH8 9XD. The justification for this award was based on the absence of competition for technical reasons, as the microscope must exactly match existing equipment used in a European collaboration project, CyGenTiG.

This procurement presents a unique opportunity for businesses involved in advanced scientific equipment and custom technology solutions. Companies specialising in high-quality, technical instruments, particularly those with experience in working with educational institutions or collaborative research projects, would be well-positioned to compete. The requirement for precise specifications and compatibility indicates a niche market for suppliers who can deliver tailored solutions for complex scientific endeavours.
