Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has awarded a service contract titled "Service Contract for 6500 Q-Trap with Nitrogen Generator," focusing on the servicing of laboratory equipment. This procurement, categorised under services for general public services, took place in the UKM region, specifically Stornoway. The contract has reached the award stage, with AB SCIEX selected as the supplier via a limited procurement method due to technical reasons ensuring the supplier's exclusive capability in servicing the specified equipment. The contract was signed on 4th August 2025, valued at GBP 72,127.95.

This tender creates opportunities for businesses engaged in niche technical service provision, particularly those specialising in laboratory equipment maintenance. Since the procurement was awarded without prior publication of a competition call, businesses possessing unique expertise or holding proprietary rights in technology may be well-positioned for similar future opportunities. Large-scale suppliers with specific technical capabilities in laboratory equipment like AB SCIEX are likely to compete effectively in these specialised service contracts with the Scottish Government.
