## Summary

The University of Glasgow has awarded a contract for an annual service of mass spectrometers and associated liquid chromatography systems to Thermo Fisher Scientific. This procurement falls under the services category in education and is classified as an open procedure.

This contract presents a growth opportunity primarily for companies specialising in technical service and maintenance of scientific equipment, particularly mass spectrometers and chromatography systems.
