Summary of the contracting process

The University of St Andrews has successfully completed a procurement process for the upgrade of the EPR Spectrometer System within its School of Physics and Astronomy. This project involved replacing the Transputer ELEXSYS E580 FT/CW EPR Spectrometer System with new digital units and a LINUX acquisition server. The contract was awarded through a limited procurement method without prior competition, specifically due to the technical complexities of integrating the new equipment with existing installations. The contract, valued at £352,370, was signed on 17th July 2020, and deliveries are to be made in St Andrews, UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in scientific equipment upgrades and IT services, particularly those with experience in EPR spectrometry and related technologies. Companies that operate within the education sector or supply advanced analytical instruments would find themselves well-positioned to respond to similar tenders from universities and research institutions. Engaging in such projects not only enhances visibility within the academic community but also fosters long-term relationships that can lead to future contracts and collaborations.
