Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh, specifically the Institute for Genetic and Molecular Medicine, conducted a tender for the procurement of an Olympus FV300 ex demonstration confocal microscope, titled "NCA20295 Microscope". The procurement process, which followed an open procedure, is now complete and resulted in a contract award valued at £153,531. The equipment is intended for the Cancer Research Centre located at the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh. The contract was signed on 3rd February 2020, marking the finalisation of this procurement stage.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the medical equipment and research sectors, particularly those specializing in the supply of advanced imaging technology. Companies that can provide confocal microscopes or similar equipment may find this an advantageous opportunity to expand their market presence. The existing relationship the buying organisation has with a sole supplier, Olympus Keymed, implies that new contenders may need to demonstrate distinct value or innovation to compete effectively.

Olympus FV300 ex demonstration confocal system

Lot Information

Lot 1

We are replacing our existing Olympus FV1000 with a new confocal microscope for the Cancer Research Centre. We currently have an ex-demo Olympus FV3000 that we are evaluating that is being offered with a 50% discount from list price. This confocal meets many of our justifications we set out within the grant application. By purchasing an Olympus microscope we will also be able to re-use many of the objectives that were purchased for use with the FV1000.
