Summary of the contracting process

The University of Dundee recently initiated a procurement process for the BioFire TORCH 2 system, a multiplex PCR system aimed at supporting COVID-19 research as part of a clinical trial. This tender falls under the goods category and utilised an open procedure for procurement. Although the status was marked as unsuccessful, the tender reflects an urgent requirement for such equipment at the University's School of Medicine located in Dundee. Key contact details for the purchasing entity include an email address t.templeman@dundee.ac.uk and a telephone number +44 1382386811, with the procurement office located at Procurement, 3rd Floor, Tower Building, Nethergate, Dundee, DD1 4HN.

This procurement opportunity could encourage businesses specialising in medical equipment, particularly those offering advanced diagnostic systems and related technologies, to engage in future tenders. Suppliers with experience in producing critical health-related products for research institutions or those who can adapt to urgent healthcare needs would be well-positioned to compete in similar tenders. The focus on rapid response to health crises, as seen in this instance, underscores the importance of innovation and swift delivery in the procurement landscape.
