## Summary

The University of Aberdeen has completed the award process for a contract pertaining to the maintenance of specialised medical equipment, specifically a Philips 3T MRI scanner and its supplementary ISP workstation. Classified under the 'repair and maintenance services of medical equipment' category (CPV code 50421000), this procurement falls under the services industry and is linked to the public education sector. The procurement followed a limited method, bypassing the requirement for prior public competition due to the technical exclusivity of the service provided by the original manufacturer. This contract, valued at £252,697, was formally signed on 21st November 2025 and is located in Aberdeen, Scotland (UKM50 region).

This procurement presents a targeted opportunity for businesses specialising in medical equipment maintenance, particularly those with existing relationships or capabilities involving Philips equipment. Due to the technical specificity of the contract, it is best suited for large-scale enterprises with the proprietary knowledge and resources to meet the stringent requirements outlined by the University of Aberdeen. Such businesses can leverage this niche demand to establish or expand their footprint in the maintenance and servicing of sophisticated medical devices, thus positioning themselves favourably in a market with minimal competition.
