## Summary

The University of Glasgow has completed a public procurement process for the provision of a maintenance contract for their 3T MRI Scanner, with a total contract value of £91,300. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, which allows for a wider range of suppliers to engage. This procurement is categorised under services, and it is located in Glasgow, UK. The award was signed on 29 October 2021, and the tender was initiated under the PPE regulations, citing technical reasons that justified a direct award to Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Ltd as the only original equipment manufacturer able to maintain the scanner.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in medical equipment maintenance and servicing, particularly those that are OEMs for MRI scanners or similar medical technologies. Companies that are well-positioned to compete include those with established relationships with healthcare institutions, those who can demonstrate technical expertise in servicing advanced medical devices, and those with a track record of compliance with public sector procurement standards. The specialised nature of the contract underscores the potential for growth within this niche market, particularly for suppliers capable of delivering high-quality, reliable service.
