Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh has recently completed a procurement process for the purchase of Valoya LED Lights, which are specifically designed for plant research to complement their existing lighting systems at the School of Biological Sciences. This procurement, classified under the goods category, was conducted using a limited method without prior publication, due to the unique technical requirements of the LEDs. The contract, valued at £220,000, was officially signed on 29 July 2021 and is based in Edinburgh, UK, where the delivery is set to take place at the university's Michael Swann Building.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in high-tech lighting solutions, particularly those with experience in agricultural or environmental technology sectors. As the University of Edinburgh sought a specific product, companies that can demonstrate technical expertise in LED technology or similar innovations would be well-positioned to enter future tenders with similar requirements. The limited competition nature of this award may indicate a niche market, beneficial for businesses looking to expand their footprint in educational institutions or plant research facilities.
