## Summary

The University of East Anglia, a sub-central public authority, located at Norwich Research Park in Norwich, United Kingdom, initiated a public procurement process titled "Trade in of lab equipment". This falls under the goods industry category, specifically laboratory and precision equipment. The procurement method was direct, below threshold without competition, culminating in an active award. Key dates include the contract signing on 13th May 2025 and its duration from 14th May 2025 to 31st May 2025. The primary supplier involved in this process was Bruker UK Limited, based in Coventry.

This contracting process presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment and related sectors, despite the absence of competition this time due to technical reasons. Companies focusing on developing or distributing specialised laboratory and precision instruments, particularly those compatible with the existing infrastructure of the University, would be well-positioned to engage with similar opportunities in future procurement exercises. Businesses capable of offering bespoke or high-quality goods in alignment with research and development expansion can expect potential growth through partnerships with academic institutions like the University of East Anglia.

## Notice

The UEA is trading in existing equipment to upgrade to specialised laboratory equipment which is solely made by one supplier. This upgraded equipment is essential for the continuation and expansion of current research and development projects. Competition is absent in this instance due to technical reasons.
