## Summary

The University of Edinburgh has recently completed a public procurement process for the acquisition of an AKTA Pure 25M2, intended as a replacement for equipment damaged in a flood incident earlier this year. This open procurement process, categorised under goods, was conducted under the Open Procedure method. The contract value is £65,000 and was officially signed on 8th June 2021. The delivery location is specified as the School of Engineering within the University, based in Edinburgh, UK, marking it as a significant opportunity within the education sector.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in scientific and laboratory equipment to expand their market presence, particularly those capable of supplying technical goods that meet the specific needs of academic institutions. Suppliers with experience in providing compatible equipment for established systems, along with the ability to navigate public procurement regulations, would be well-suited to participate in future tenders of this nature. Engaging with the University of Edinburgh's procurement team could further enhance business growth and collaboration in the education sector.

## Notice

This AKTA Pure is a like-for-like replacement for existing equipment damaged in a flood incident in February 2021. The insurance claim following the incident has been accepted by the insurer.
