Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh initiated a procurement process for the purchase of a Gatan ELSA Cryoholder aimed at enhancing their research capabilities within the education sector. This contract, valued at £58,900, was awarded on 1st July 2021 under an open procurement method. The delivery location for the item is specified as the Wellcome Centre for Cell Biology at the University of Edinburgh, located in Edinburgh, Scotland. The procurement process has now reached the award stage, concluding with one bid received by the University.

This contract presents significant opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in research equipment and technology. Companies that develop or supply scientific instruments, especially those linked to imaging technology for educational purposes, would be well-positioned to explore similar contracts. The involvement of a large supplier, Ametek (GB) Ltd T/A Gatan, indicates a competitive landscape where established firms may dominate; however, new entrants with innovative offerings could still find ways to engage with educational institutions like the University of Edinburgh.
