OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government is seeking an external specialist service provider for service contracts covering ARE Three Peak Scientific XE70 nitrogen generators. The work involves installing, repairing and servicing Peak Scientific’s proprietary gas generator technologies, supporting the continued operation of this specialist equipment. This is a technical maintenance and engineering services requirement rather than a supply-only opportunity. The procurement is for one defined requirement and includes community benefit expectations: the successful tenderer must submit a proposal relevant to the contract that supports Scotland’s social, economic and environmental wellbeing. Businesses specialising in nitrogen-generation equipment, laboratory or industrial gas systems, and manufacturer-authorised technical support are the most evidently relevant prospects. The buyer is the Scottish Government.

The procurement has reached tender: the Scottish Government invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission in English. The tender deadline and bid opening were set for 20 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with award activity scheduled to start at that time. The contract is valued at £52,000. It covers a 720-day period, with an option to extend by a further 36 months subject to Scottish Government approval. There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 70% for technical quality and 30% for price. Variants are not permitted. Electronic payment is available and electronic invoicing is allowed. The requirement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement, and bidders must provide the names and qualifications of staff proposed for the work.

This opportunity suits established equipment-service businesses with engineers specifically trained to install, repair and service Peak Scientific’s proprietary gas generator technologies. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate relevant technical capability, provide named and qualified personnel, and meet demanding financial and insurance requirements. The required current ratio is at least 0.9, with no qualification or counter-indication affecting the evidence of financial standing. Required insurance includes professional indemnity of at least £2 million, public liability of at least £5 million and employers’ liability of at least £5 million. Bidders must explain environmental management measures, including actions to build climate-emergency awareness and reduce carbon emissions, and disclose any intended subcontracting and its proportion. A community benefits proposal is also required, creating scope for suppliers with credible social-value delivery experience.
