Summary of the contracting process

The University of Glasgow procured replacement equipment for its CVRU rack washer (CPV 33100000, medical equipment). The requirement covers the provision of the replacement rack washer and associated goods and services needed to support its use. Delivery and performance are associated with the University’s facilities in Glasgow. This is a goods procurement for an education-sector buyer, rather than a general facilities-management or construction contract. The named buyer is the University of Glasgow, which operates from its Procurement Office in Glasgow. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of rack washers or comparable medical, laboratory or healthcare equipment, particularly those able to support an institutional customer with equipment supply and related services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The contract was awarded to Allentown UK Ltd, with the award period beginning on 23 June 2026; the contract was signed on 15 September 2026. The contract is active and is valued at £188,650. The initial contract period is 1,080 days, with two optional 12-month renewals, giving a maximum possible period of five years. Three electronic bids were received, all from SMEs. Evaluation information records price at 40% and technical specification quality at 27%. Bids had to be submitted in English, variants were not allowed, and electronic payment and ordering apply. The supplier was required to hold specified insurance and demonstrate financial capacity through accounts and turnover.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist rack-washer replacement equipment within a university environment, with a contract structure extending beyond the initial service period through optional renewals. Suppliers best placed for comparable work would combine suitable medical, laboratory or healthcare equipment with the ability to provide associated goods and services to an institutional buyer. Credibility would require robust technical compliance against a detailed specification, competitive pricing and evidence of reliable delivery and support. Financial capacity is significant: suppliers need at least two years of accounts and minimum annual turnover of £400,000. Required insurance levels include product liability, public liability, employers’ liability and professional indemnity cover. The successful bidder was an SME, indicating that specialist smaller suppliers can compete.
