Summary of the contracting process

The University of Glasgow has recently completed a procurement process to acquire a second-hand Flow Cytometer, designated as PPE Ref 6713. The award was made under an open procedure for the procurement of goods, and the contract, valued at £67,020, was signed on 17th December 2020. Located in Glasgow, UK, this procurement is classified under the education sector. The process identified Life Technologies Ltd as the sole supplier, due to the specific technical requirements that ruled out competition.

This opportunity is particularly relevant for businesses involved in medical and scientific equipment, particularly those focused on refurbished or second-hand items. Companies that provide specialised instruments in the life sciences sector would be well-positioned to engage in future procurement processes, leveraging similar technical exemptions to establish contracts with educational institutions like the University of Glasgow. Establishing relationships in this segment could foster significant growth, especially for suppliers who can meet the stringent requirements of such institutions.
