Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh has completed a procurement process for a mass spectrometry system, titled "Tripletof 6600 System," designed to enhance ultra-high-throughput proteomics capabilities within its School of Biological Sciences. The procurement method employed was a limited procedure, justifying the absence of prior publication due to the unique technical requirements of the system. This process was finalised on 20th January 2022, with a contract value of £199,000. The delivery of the system is set for the School of Biological Sciences located at Michael Swann Building, Max Born Crescent, Edinburgh, EH9 3BF, UK.

This tender presents excellent opportunities for firms specialising in advanced scientific equipment, particularly those with unique technical offerings in mass spectrometry or related technologies. Businesses that can demonstrate expertise in high-throughput proteomics and possess the capability to support bespoke software and data management systems would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. Engaging with an institution like the University of Edinburgh can also provide lucrative partnerships and foster innovative developments within the educational sector.
