## Summary

The University of Exeter has recently completed a procurement process for an Acoustic Focusing Cytometer, which falls under the laboratory, optical and precision equipment category. The procurement was conducted as a selective tendering process, specifically via a call-off from a framework agreement. Though the tender period has concluded, the contract period for the awarded supplier, Fisher Scientific U.K., Limited, is set from 28th October 2019 to 28th October 2024. This procurement took place in Exeter, located in the South West of England, with a total contract value of £159,963.50.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for companies engaged in providing specialised laboratory equipment, particularly those that are already established suppliers within educational and research environments. Firms with expertise in manufacturing or distributing scientific instruments and those capable of meeting the stringent specifications required for such advanced equipment would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. The long duration of the contract further suggests ongoing partnerships and potential for repeat business with the University of Exeter over the next several years.
