The procurement process involves the University of Edinburgh as the buying organisation, which has initiated a tender titled "NCA21055 Stereo Imager IGC" to acquire stereomicroscopes for its advanced Imaging Facility. This procurement, categorised under goods and classified as "Microscopes," is currently at the Award stage. The active contract, valued at £124,694, was signed on 18 November 2021, with a single bid submitted by a foreign operator due to the limited procurement method employed, which did not require prior publication of a call for competition.
