Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh commissioned specialist servicing and maintenance for its nanoscan PET/CT system, identified as the 122S (2PM-s) system. The requirement is a service contract for medical imaging equipment, covering the system at the University of Edinburgh in Edinburgh. The work is categorised as technical testing, analysis and consultancy services under CPV 71900000, although the practical requirement is equipment servicing and maintenance rather than general consultancy. The procurement is for the University’s own research or clinical imaging capability and relates to one requirement. The selected supplier is Mediso Medical Imaging Systems UK Limited, a medical imaging systems company based in Farnborough. The requirement is specifically connected to maintaining the University’s existing nanoscan PET/CT equipment.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. The University of Edinburgh signed the contract modification on 19 August 2026. The modification extends the existing service arrangement for one year, with the contract running from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The contract value is £351,500. Mediso Medical Imaging Systems UK Limited was awarded the contract for the single requirement. The extension was made as a contract modification under Regulation 72(1)(c) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, on the stated basis that additional services were required from the original contractor and that the increase was below 50% of the contract value. The underlying arrangement is described as a multi-year service contract for the nanoscan PET/CT system.

For suppliers assessing future demand from the University of Edinburgh, this procurement demonstrates a requirement for specialist, ongoing maintenance of a nanoscan PET/CT system rather than a one-off equipment purchase. A credible competitor would need demonstrable technical capability in servicing PET/CT medical imaging equipment, including the relevant nanoscan platform and its associated 122S (2PM-s) configuration. Familiarity with the installed system would be commercially important, as would the ability to provide dependable planned and responsive maintenance for equipment used over a sustained service period. Suppliers would also need sufficient specialist engineering capacity to support the University’s Edinburgh site and to maintain continuity of service for a complex imaging system. Experience of working with universities, research environments or comparable medical imaging users would strengthen a future proposition.
