Summary of the contracting process

The University of Glasgow has successfully completed a tendering process for the renewal service contract of three microscopes, identified as PPE Ref 7096. This procurement falls under the services category and was conducted using an open procedure. The contract was signed on 7 April 2021, with a total value of £56,725.92. The purchasing took place in Glasgow, UK, and the contract has been awarded to Carl Zeiss Ltd, the sole supplier capable of providing the required maintenance due to technical restrictions as per the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016.

Businesses that offer maintenance and support services for sophisticated equipment would be well positioned to compete for future contracts, especially given the current trend towards direct awards for specialised services. The unique nature of this tender highlights the potential for tailored service providers to engage with institutions like the University of Glasgow.
