OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh has recently awarded a contract for the "Cryomagnet-based Measurement Platform," a procurement process classified under the education industry. The contract was signed on 6 August 2021, with a total value of £562,500. This procurement was conducted using a limited procedure without the prior publication of a call for competition, as it was essential to procure the system from the original supplier to ensure compatibility with existing systems. The delivery location for the contract is the School of Engineering at the University of Edinburgh, situated in Edinburgh, UK.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in scientific instrumentation and measurement systems. Companies that focus on cryogenic technologies, material properties measurement, or have existing relations with the University of Edinburgh would be well-positioned to compete in future tenders. The supplier, Quantum Design UK and Ireland, indicates a preference for suppliers familiar with similar technological systems, which could mean a significant market opportunity for specialised firms in this field.
