Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh has recently completed a procurement process for the purchase of a 4D Holotomographic imaging device, known as the Nanolive CX-A Microscope. This procurement falls under the education sector and was conducted in Edinburgh, UK. The contract, awarded to Image Solutions (UK) Limited, was finalised on 12 January 2022, with a value of £107,300. The procurement method used was a limited procedure, requiring no prior publication of a call for competition, as the Nanolive CX-A is unique in its technical capabilities, allowing for high-throughput imaging and fluorescence detection.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in high-tech imaging equipment and related technologies. Companies that manufacture or supply advanced scientific instruments, particularly those with expertise in microscopy or cellular imaging, would be well-positioned to compete in future procurements. The limited nature of this process indicates a potential for niche suppliers to meet specific, technologically advanced needs of large institutions like the University of Edinburgh, allowing for growth in innovative markets.
