## Summary

The procurement process involves the UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM (THE) seeking an upgrade for an existing instrument manufactured by Micro Materials. The contract, classified under miscellaneous engineering services, has a total value of £29,400 and was completed on 19th February 2022. The procurement was executed through a direct method via a single tender action below the threshold, with the tender period concluding on the same date as the contract's commencement. The delivery is designated for the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom, ensuring local service provision.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in engineering services and those that provide equipment upgrades. As the contract was awarded directly to Micro Materials, it may be particularly beneficial for businesses that offer similar manufacturing or engineering services, especially those that can engage in partnerships with the original manufacturer. Engaging with this type of project can enhance a business's portfolio and facilitate growth in the public procurement sector.

## Notice

I currently have an instrument manufactured by Micro Materials. I wish to purchase an upgrade to this instrument (swapping out many of the components for newer ones) so this purchase can come from the original manufacturer (Micro Materials) only.
