Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government procured a service contract for two Agilent 6495C triple quadrupole liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (QqQ LCMS) systems. The requirement is for servicing and maintenance of this specialist analytical laboratory equipment. The Scottish Government is the buying organisation. The procurement description identifies the two instruments but does not describe specific service tasks or the location where the work is carried out.

The procurement has been awarded to Agilent Technologies LDA UK Ltd, and the contract is recorded as active. The awarded value is £235,558.74. The Scottish Government used a direct award to a single supplier without competition. The available process information records one bid. The procurement concerns a single requirement covering both instruments; no separate lot awards are reported. The tender period has a recorded start date of 10 January 2026, but no submission deadline, award date or contract period is provided here. No evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are stated in the available process details.

This award shows demand from the Scottish Government for specialist servicing and maintenance of Agilent 6495C QqQ LCMS equipment, with a requirement covering two systems. A supplier seeking to compete if this requirement returns to market would need demonstrable capability to support these specific analytical instruments and the capacity to maintain more than one system. Agilent Technologies LDA UK Ltd was selected through a direct award without competition, so the outcome demonstrates the buyer's purchase from the equipment manufacturer, rather than evidence of a competitive evaluation or published technical thresholds. Suppliers with relevant instrument-service expertise and access to the parts and technical knowledge needed to support Agilent equipment would be best placed to assess this buyer's requirement.
