## Summary

The University of Strathclyde is seeking to retain loan equipment, specifically a 5-axis milling machine, through a limited procurement process. The initiation of this tender occurred on 4th March 2021, with an award anticipated after the completion of a VEAT period on 16th March 2021. This procurement falls under the goods category and is classified with the CPV code for milling machines. The total contract value is set at £175,000, and the procurement is being conducted in Glasgow, UK, under the provisions of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses, especially those specialising in manufacturing and equipment supply services. Companies with expertise in milling machine technology, as well as those that have longstanding relationships or experience with the University sector, may find this a particularly advantageous opportunity. Given the nature of the contract, suppliers that possess compatible technical capabilities and can demonstrate effective maintenance support are likely to be competitive in this procurement process.

## Notice

Retention of Loan Equipment - 5-axis mill

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The University intends to award this agreement under the provisions of regulation 33.4.b of the The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

### Procurement Information

NMIS have had the current loan equipment on site for >2 years. In addition to significant sunk costs for commissioning and training, layers of software have been installed onto the equipment, some of which is proprietary, along with third party hardware additions. The University considers that a change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance.
