Summary of the contracting process

The contract titled "Award of Contract for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation" has been awarded by the University of Aberdeen, situated in Aberdeen, UK. This procurement falls under the education industry category and was completed through a non-competitive process due to the unique technical requirements of the equipment specified. The award decision was finalised on 6th April 2022, with the total contract value amounting to £99,465. The procurement method followed was a tender, although competition was deemed absent based on the specific technical features required for research use that other providers could not meet.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in innovative medical devices and equipment, particularly those focused on research applications within the educational sector. Suppliers with expertise in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation systems or those capable of providing unique technical solutions that align with research needs would be well-positioned to compete in future projects. The contracting authority, the University of Aberdeen, often seeks cutting-edge technologies and reliable partners, making this a strategic area for expansion for relevant suppliers.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Award of Contract for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Notice Description

University is awarding this contract without seeking offers through a formal procurement procedure as competition is absent for technical reasons. Under clause 6(1) (b) (ii) of the legislation, a contracting authority may award a contract without competition (only where no reasonable alternative or substitute exists, and the absence of competition is not the result of artificial narrowing down of parameters of the procurement). In this case, the grounds for not exposing to competition are as follows: - Other providers of TMS Systems currently on the market are designed primarily for clinical use rather than research use and are therefore limited in terms of features. - An example of the above is that alternate systems are not able to neuronavigate TMS coils based on functional neuroimaging data or record EEG electrode positions.
