Summary of the contracting process

The University of Glasgow has recently completed a direct award tender for the upgrade of existing EVOS microscopes, identified by PPE Ref 6636. This procurement process falls under the education industry category and is located in Glasgow, UK. The upgrade is essential for maintaining the long-lived components covered under the supplier's extended warranty. The award was finalised on 2 December 2020, with a contract value of £61,172.01. The procurement method used was an open procedure, complying with the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016, allowing for a sole source exemption as only the original equipment manufacturer can perform the upgrades.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in laboratory equipment and support services, particularly those with a focus on microscopy or similar technologies. Companies that can provide original equipment manufacturer (OEM) services or have relevant expertise in equipment upgrades would be particularly well-suited to compete in such tenders. Given the unique requirements and the nature of the contract, suppliers with established relationships in the educational or research sectors may find themselves at an advantage, opening pathways to further collaborations in academic settings.
