Summary of the contracting process

The University of St Andrews, located in Guardbridge, has successfully concluded the procurement process for a project titled "School of Chemistry: Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy" within the education sector. This public procurement, which falls under the goods category, was conducted via an open procedure. It involved the provision of equipment across various lots, including EPR resonators and amplifiers, at the University's UKM72 campus. The contracting process, initiated on 5th November 2024, reached the award stage by 23rd April 2025, with various contracts being signed in early April 2025. The procurement utilised an electronic submission method, centralised through the University's eTendering system.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in advanced laboratory and scientific equipment. The involvement of companies like Bruker UK and Spinflex Instruments Ltd indicates the suitability of SMEs for such projects, emphasising the potential for international collaboration given that suppliers from and beyond the EU participated in the bidding process. Businesses with expertise in high-sensitivity measurement technologies, particularly those with innovative EPR solutions, would find similar future tenders lucrative, highlighting an avenue for expansion and integration into the academic research sector. With quality weighted at 70% and cost at 30% in the award criteria, businesses focusing on quality enhancement are well-placed to compete effectively in such procurement activities.

This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further debriefing from the contracting authority before the contract is entered into. Applicants have 2 working days from the notification of the award decision to request additional debriefing and that information has to be provided a minimum of 3 working days before the expiry of the standstill period. Such additional information should be requested from The University of St Andrews. If an appeal regarding the award of contract has not been successfully resolved The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2012 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rule to take action in the Sheriff Court or Court of Session. The anticipated review body in such cases would be: Dundee Sheriff Court 6 West Bell Street Dundee DD1 9AD Telephone: +44 1382 229 961 Anyone bringing court proceedings against the University of St Andrews must inform the University of St Andrews in advance of the alleged breach and its intention to bring proceedings. Any such action must be brought within 15 days of the date on which a decision is sent to them or published to challenge that decision. Proceedings seeking an ineffectiveness order must be brought within 30 days of the publication of the contract award notice in the OJEU, or 30 days from the date of a decision letter to all tenderers concerned, and any candidates concerned, containing a summary of the reason for the recipient being unsuccessful, otherwise 6 months from the date of entering into the contract or concluding the framework agreement. Where a contract has not been entered into the Court may, by interim order, suspend the procurement procedure. The court may also set aside a decision or actions taken by the University or order it to amend and document; and/or award damages. However, by express requirement the court may decide not to grant an interim order when the negative consequences of such an order are likely to outweigh the benefits, having regard to a number of considerations. If the contract has been entered into the Court may, depending on the nature of the breach: make an ineffectiveness order; impose a financial penalty; shorten the duration of the contract; make any other order considered appropriate to address the consequences of ineffectiveness or shortening the duration or the contract; award damages.",
