## Summary

The procurement process led by Southampton Solent University involved the acquisition of an EVOS M5000 Microscope, essential for the OfS Biomed Project. The process falls under the 'goods' industry category, specifically classified under 'Microscopes', with the primary location being the region of UKJ32 in Southampton. The procurement followed a limited method, executed without prior publication due to its below-threshold nature, as outlined in the legal basis 32014L0024. This process was completed with the award being signed on 10 October 2024, and Fisher Scientific UK Ltd emerged as the contracted supplier.

This procurement presents business growth opportunities for companies specialised in scientific instruments, particularly those offering high-quality imaging technologies. Given the bespoke nature of this award, larger enterprises like Fisher Scientific, with established capabilities in delivering specialised equipment, are well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. Small to medium enterprises with unique or innovative microscope technologies might also find opportunities through increased visibility and tailored partnerships during future procurement rounds.
