## Summary

The University of Edinburgh has completed a tender for the procurement of a Liquid Chromatography High Resolution Mass Spectrometer, which is essential for quantitative shotgun proteomics. This procurement falls under the education sector and is reported to have a total contract value of £1,120,000. It was executed through an open procedure as part of a framework agreement, with the contract awarded on 11 March 2021. The delivery for the system is to be made to the Roslin Institute, located at the Easterbush Campus in Midlothian, UK. The relevant procurement process is now at the award stage.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in high-tech analytical equipment, particularly those specialising in mass spectrometry and chromatography technologies. Companies with capabilities to deliver advanced scientific instruments, along with services such as software packages and extended warranties, will find themselves well-positioned to compete. The procurement encourages participation from larger suppliers, given the contract's scale, but also potentially opens avenues for collaboration or partnerships to meet the technical specifications required by the University of Edinburgh.

## Notice

The University of Edinburgh required a high resolution state-of-the-art liquid chromatography mass spectrometer (LC-MS) system with advanced ion-mobility features for quantitative shotgun proteomics.
