## Summary

Cardiff University, located in Cardiff, has recently awarded a tender for the procurement of an Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) instrument, which is essential for monitoring and diagnosing eye health at their professional eye clinic. This procurement falls under the category of goods, specifically focusing on tomography devices and optical instruments. The award was made following a competitive tendering process that received three bids, with the contract being signed on 23rd October 2017. The total value of the contract awarded is £49,245, and it will significantly enhance the clinic’s capabilities to serve both the public and university community.

This tender offers exciting opportunities for businesses, especially those involved in medical equipment manufacturing and supply, to engage with a prominent educational institution. Companies that specialise in optical instruments and healthcare technology would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar tenders. Participation in such procurement processes not only allows businesses to expand their market reach but also to establish long-term partnerships with reputable organisations like Cardiff University, ultimately contributing to their growth in the healthcare sector.

## Notice

This requirement is for a combination OCT and fundus photography instrument to replace the current (obsolete) device located in the pre-screening room at Cardiff University professional eye clinic. The new OCT system will be used to monitor and diagnose eye health in our clients. The professional clinic runs five days a week all year round and is open to members of the public as well as Cardiff University staff and students. The equipment will be required to serve the needs of optometrists (for report generation and review) in three consulting rooms, located in the professional clinic, and one pre-screening room.
