Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh recently completed a procurement process for a contract titled "Scientific Measurement Instrument," aimed at acquiring scientific measurement instruments specifically designed for marine environments. This open tender process took place in Edinburgh, and the contract was awarded on 10 July 2019, with a total contract value of £69,657.60. The initiative falls under the education industry category, and the procurement was executed in accordance with the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016, allowing for a non-competitive award based on the uniqueness of the required goods.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the manufacture of Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers and similar scientific instruments. Companies adept at high-precision marine technology and capable of rapid product development for research applications would be particularly well-suited to engage in similar future tenders. With the unique environmental specifications required for such instruments, firms with experience in custom sensor solutions for marine renewable energy would find themselves in a favourable position to meet the evolving demands of organisations like the University of Edinburgh.
