Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the University of Glasgow, which has initiated a direct award for a four-year maintenance agreement for an LSM 880 confocal microscope with Airyscan detector. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and the award for this contract was made to Carl Zeiss Ltd. The contract was signed on 9 December 2020, with a total value of £76,000. The relevant location for the delivery is Glasgow, UK, and the industry category is classified under education services, specifically related to scientific apparatus maintenance.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in scientific equipment maintenance and support services, particularly those that can demonstrate expertise with confocal microscopy technology. Given that only the original equipment manufacturer is eligible to provide maintenance under the current regulations, this contract offers a unique chance for established players like Carl Zeiss Ltd to maintain a monopoly on such services. Businesses that focus on proprietary technology or have strong affiliations with original equipment manufacturers will be best suited to compete in similar future tenders.
