## Summary

The University of Glasgow has successfully completed the procurement process for the 12-month service contract for existing mass spectrometers, originally supplied by Thermo Fisher Scientific. This process was categorised under the goods procurement category, and it followed an open procedure. The contract was awarded on 16 July 2021, with a total value of £110,000. The procurement involved only one bid from the original equipment manufacturer, as justified under Regulation 6 (1)(b)(ii) of the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016, indicating that competition was absent for technical reasons.
