Summary of the contracting process

Heriot-Watt University, located in Riccarton, Edinburgh, has completed the procurement process for the purchase of an X-ray Transparent Composite Core Holder and Heating System. The contract was awarded to Vinci Technologies on 7th June 2022, with a total contract value of €71,600. This procurement falls under the 'goods' category and was initiated as a tender process. The purchase is significant for the university's research efforts, particularly in collaboration with their funding partner, Petronas. The specialised nature of this item necessitated a non-competitive procurement method due to the lack of alternative options that matched the required specifications.

This contract presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in supplying specialised scientific equipment and technology, particularly those with expertise in high-temperature and high-pressure materials. Companies that focus on innovative solutions for academic and research institutions would be well-suited to compete in such tenders. With the specific requirements linked to advanced research, suppliers who can demonstrate both technical capability and a strong understanding of academic needs may find significant growth opportunities in future procurements similar to this one.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Under Regulation Reg 6(1)(b)(ii) of the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016, a contracting authority may award a contract without competition based on the following justification: Competition is absent for technical reasons (only if it is not caused by artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement and no reasonable alternative or substitute exists) Explanation: This purchase is for a specialised core holder, which is x-ray transparent to facilitate pore scale imaging, compatible with Brine and Carbon Dioxide gas at high temperatures and pressures (T = 120oC and P = 5000psi) and is portable maintaining both temperature and pressure. Research of the marketplace identified vendors that are able to offer x-ray transparent core holders however they do not match the form factor required. The principal purpose of the contract is to acquire goods in a timely manner in connection with research undertaken by the University on behalf of funding parter - Petronas.
