## Summary

The University of Aberdeen has recently awarded a contract for analytical equipment under an open procurement process. This contract was formally completed on 23 March 2018 and is worth £117,130. The contract falls within the education sector and involves equipment for microscale thermophoresis. The procurement was justified on a single-source basis due to technical reasons, indicating that only one supplier, NanoTemper Technologies GmbH, was able to meet the specific equipment requirements. The address for the University of Aberdeen is University Office, King's College, Aberdeen, AB24 3FX, and interested parties can contact them via email at e-sourcing@abdn.ac.uk or telephone at +44 1224274467.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses capable of supplying specialised analytical equipment, particularly those with expertise in microscale thermophoresis technology. Companies focusing on advanced scientific instruments or those that have developed unique solutions in the educational sector may find this contract relevant. Given that this contract was awarded under specific technical justification, businesses that possess unique capabilities or proprietary technologies are well-suited to compete in future procurement processes led by the University of Aberdeen or similar institutions.
