Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh has recently concluded a procurement process for the acquisition of a high-throughput, high-resolution Spinning Disc Microscope, identified as tender DA0033 CCBS 2020. This tender falls under the goods category, specifically within the education and medical research sectors. The contract was signed on 20th July 2020, with the successful supplier, Nikon UK, awarded a contract valued at £274,043. Delivery is expected at the University’s Chancellors Building in Edinburgh, with the procurement method used being an 'open' procedure, allowing a wide range of suppliers to participate.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the specialised equipment sector, particularly those focused on microscopy and imaging technology. Companies producing cutting-edge scientific instruments, especially those not currently on the APUC framework, would find the competitive landscape favourable. Additionally, businesses that offer innovative solutions in imaging for educational or medical research applications may thrive, as evidenced by the successful integration and satisfaction of the previous equipment from Nikon UK in the University's Grant Laboratory.

Notice Title

DA0033 CCBS 2020 Spinning Disc Microscope

Notice Description

The Grant Laboratory need a new high through-put, high-resolution microscope to image large, fixed, human specimens.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Direct Award from ranking: In 2020, CCBS undertook an open EU Tender for a Spinning Disc Microscope. That direction was taken as the project team wanted to give suppliers a chance to bid who are not on the APUC framework. Nikon won that tender and the team have been very happy with the equipment's capability as well as Nikon's responsiveness. Another EU open tender was discussed however since Nikon are first ranked and they succeeded on the initial tender, it was concluded that a second tender would add little value.
