## Summary

The University of Aberdeen is seeking to establish a one-year preventative maintenance and repair agreement for its sterilising units (autoclaves). This contract was awarded as part of an open procurement process, and has been completed as of May 27, 2021. The procurement falls under the services category and was carried out in Aberdeen, UK. The relevant classification for this service is under CPV code 50420000, with the contract value amounting to £64,500.

This contract presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in maintenance services for medical or laboratory equipment, particularly companies with experience in sterilising equipment. With the procurement method being open, there is potential for SMEs as well as larger firms to engage in similar future tenders. Given that the awarded contract was linked specifically to the manufacturer of the equipment, firms with a strong technical background and prior maintenance relationship with equipment manufacturers would be particularly well-suited to compete in this space.
