## Summary

The procurement process involved the award of a contract by Public Health England for the maintenance and servicing of a Transmission Electron Microscope. The contract, valued at £120,000, falls under the category of preventive maintenance services. This procurement was initiated through a VEAT Notice and has been completed as of 22 March 2019. The contract is set to last from 22 March 2019 to 29 February 2020, with the service required across various locations including the United Kingdom and other British Overseas Territories.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in scientific equipment maintenance and servicing, particularly those with expertise in high-tech medical devices. Companies that provide preventive maintenance services, especially those with capabilities to support sophisticated instrumentation like electron microscopes, would be well-positioned to compete in future tenders of similar nature. The niche market for technical services in the healthcare sector offers growth potential for SMEs eager to expand their offerings.

## Notice

Public Health England (PHE) has awarded JEOL with the servicing and maintenance of a JEM 1400 transmission electron microscope (TEM) and ancillary equpiment (digital camera, microscope chiller, UPS and ultramicrotome) which is used to provide a routine diagnostic service, research EM as well as an emergency response. JEOL is the only company capable of servicing the major piece of equipment in this service agreement which is the TEM. The TEM is computer controlled and the JEOL engineers are the only people who have the codes that enable them to access the system to the level required to diagnose problems and make changes to the system.
