The procurement, valued at £2,000,000, involves the supply, delivery, and maintenance of these goods across various clinical specialties in the region of UKM, covering Edinburgh. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with bids due by 22 June 2026, and the tender opening on the same day. This procurement falls under the "goods" category, specifically operating tables as per CPV classification, and is expected to have a contract period of 1,440 days. The procurement method is an open procedure with an electronic submission process and requires a framework agreement with up to 12 participants. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical equipment supply, particularly those with experience in operating tables, surgical systems, and theatre lighting. Companies capable of providing comprehensive project management services, including pre-installation assessments, as well as delivery, installation, and maintenance, are positioned well to compete. Additionally, businesses able to engage with the Community Benefit Gateway will find additional opportunities through community benefits requirements.
