## Summary

The University of St Andrews has completed the procurement process for high-resolution collision cell multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (CC-MC-ICPMS) equipment, valued at £250,000. The procurement method used was limited, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the unique technical specifications of the required equipment. This procurement falls under the education sector and was conducted in St Andrews, Scotland.
