## Summary

The University of Glasgow has completed a public procurement process titled "PPE Ref 5647 Direct Award for the Provision of Maintenance Contract for Three Instruments."

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the maintenance of scientific instruments, particularly those that specialise in high-precision equipment such as Tecnai T20 TEM and NovaNanolab FIB systems.
