## Summary

The procurement process was conducted by Cardiff University for the acquisition of Sector Field HR-ICP-MS and ICP-OES equipment, crucial for their Mass Spectrometry & Chromatography operations. Categorised under the Education sector, this procurement falls within the goods category. The process has reached the Award stage, with the contract being signed on 26th September 2025. Given that the procurement method was limited, the award was made directly to Thermo Fisher Scientific, located in Hemel Hempstead. The purchase decision followed an unsuccessful attempt to gather competitive tenders, leading to the direct award procedure.

This tender presents a substantial business growth opportunity, particularly for suppliers of scientific equipment within the Mass Spectrometry field. Despite the restricted procedure, businesses with advanced solutions and capabilities in this niche market might still find future similar opportunities promising, especially if they enhance their engagement strategies with academic and research institutions. Large enterprises like Thermo Fisher Scientific, which can meet the specific requirements and maintain robust communication lines, are typically well-suited to such tailored procurements.
