Summary of the contracting process

The University of Dundee has concluded the procurement process for the provision of service and maintenance of the Thermo Orbitrap Exploris LCMS System located in the DDU Laboratory, with a fixed-price agreement spanning four 12-month terms. The tender was executed through an open procedure within the services category, specifically covering routine maintenance in the educational sector, and took place at the Faculty of Life Science, Dundee. The contract was awarded on 19 February 2026, underlining the completion of the procurement stage, which had been overseen by the University's procurement office in Dundee, Scotland.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in scientific equipment maintenance, particularly those with expertise in laboratory equipment servicing and familiarity with LCMS systems. Large-scale businesses, like Thermo Fisher Scientific, which ultimately secured the contract, would find themselves well-suited to fulfill such requirements, especially given the framework's fixed term and price conditions. The award against the Mass Spec and Chromatography Agreement signifies a potential for industry growth and collaboration between academic institutions and service providers in the field of scientific research and laboratory infrastructure support.
