## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council, located at Waverley Court, 4 East Market Street, Edinburgh, has completed an award process for a contract titled "Laboratory Supplies and Services." This procurement falls under the maintenance and repair of office machinery industry category. The contract was awarded on 12th March 2026 using a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition due to no suitable tenders being received from an open procedure. The successful supplier is IDEXX Laboratories Ltd. The contract, valued at £82,443 GBP, is associated with the region UKM75. The procurement was conducted under the legal framework of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 and conforms to the GPA guidelines.

This opportunity may be particularly advantageous for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), although the current supplier, IDEXX Laboratories Ltd, is not classified as an SME. The procurement process highlights an instance where knowledge of the client's specific requirements and the ability to offer swift and tailored solutions can position a business to secure valuable contracts, hence fostering growth and expansion in new markets within the UK, particularly in the Edinburgh region.
