Summary of the contracting process

NHS Grampian has completed a public procurement process for the servicing of medical equipment used by the Genetics Lab at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. The procurement process involved an award without prior publication, as Life Technologies Ltd is the sole supplier capable of providing the necessary servicing due to the specialised nature of the equipment. The contract, identified as NCT020-25, was awarded on 11th August 2025, with an overall value of £84,533 GBP. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically within the health sector, and is located in the Aberdeen region (UKM50), highlighting the role of public bodies in maintaining high standards of health services infrastructure.

This tender presents significant business opportunities particularly for companies operating within the healthcare and medical equipment industries.

Furthermore, this example underscores the potential for growth in the health sector, considering the demand for expert suppliers who can deliver services tailored to specific medical research and development requirements.
