Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, concluded by the University of Dundee, encompassed the provision of laboratory gases, associated services, and equipment, focusing on the education industry in Dundee. The procurement stage is the award, and the contract was signed on 30th January 2025. The limited procurement method was utilised, specifically an award procedure without a prior call for competition due to the specialised nature of the goods for research purposes. The contract, valued at £900,000, reflects the University of Dundee's continued commitment to supporting research and development within its facilities, with BOC being the awarded supplier.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in the production and supply of laboratory gases and related equipment. Companies that specialise in manufacturing goods for research and development, especially those capable of providing bespoke services tailored to educational institutions' demands, would find this tender a particularly fitting opportunity. Large enterprises with the capability to fulfil such specific requirements and deliver high-value contracts would be well-suited to compete in similar future engagements, particularly in the education sector where constant innovation and quality supply are paramount.
