Summary of the contracting process

The University of Glasgow procured a full maintenance service for a Raith EBPG 5200 system, identified as A242. This is specialist maintenance for electronic-beam pattern-generation equipment, rather than general facilities or building maintenance. The service is delivered in Glasgow. The procurement was structured as a single requirement, covering maintenance of the named equipment. The buyer is the University of Glasgow, an education institution. The equipment-specific nature of the service is central to the requirement: suppliers working in maintenance and technical support for this type of specialist instrument are the relevant market, rather than general engineering maintenance providers.

The procurement is complete and awarded to Raith BV, which was the sole bidder. The University used a limited direct award without a prior call for competition, citing technical reasons under the applicable procurement regulations. The award was justified on the basis that the services could be supplied only by a particular operator because of an absence of competition for technical reasons. The contract is active and was signed on 25 September 2026. Its value is £147,000. The stated maximum service period is 12 months. The procurement comprised one lot for the full maintenance contract; the award relates to that requirement. The process therefore records a completed selection through a technical-reasons direct award, rather than a competitive evaluation with published scoring criteria.

This award demonstrates that the University of Glasgow buys specialist maintenance for its Raith EBPG 5200 equipment, with a technically specific requirement that it treated as available from only one operator. A supplier seeking to compete if this requirement returns to market would need credible expertise in servicing this instrument and the technical capability to maintain it reliably. Demonstrable access to the relevant parts, software, diagnostic tools and manufacturer-level knowledge would be commercially important, although the procurement record does not state particular technical qualifications or accreditations. The contract is a focused, single-equipment service rather than a broad maintenance portfolio, so suppliers should be able to support the named system at the University’s Glasgow location and show how they can provide full maintenance over the required service period.
