## Summary

The Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service has completed the procurement process for the maintenance of a flow cytometer, which falls under the health services industry. The procurement method used was an open procedure. The contract was awarded to Becton Dickinson U.K. Limited, with the value set at £29,000. The formal award notice was published on 1st April 2019, following an evaluation that deemed competition absent for technical reasons, in accordance with the relevant public procurement regulations.

Companies that specialise in laboratory equipment maintenance or service provision, particularly those experienced in working with flow cytometers or similar devices, would be well-positioned to compete in future tenders. Moreover, suppliers aiming to expand their footprint in the UK health services market should take note of this approval process to identify collaboration or bidding opportunities with established players in the industry.
