## Summary

The University of Glasgow has completed a procurement process for the direct award of Type 1 and Type 2 Benchtop Water Dispensing Units, under the PPE Ref 8193 initiative. This purchase falls within the education sector and is categorised as goods, with a total contract value of £54,650. The procurement was carried out through an open procedure, with the award signed on 23rd December 2021. The equipment is to be delivered to Glasgow, UK, and the process adhered to the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016, utilising a sole supplier exemption due to technical reasons.

Firms that are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and those with the capability to supply specialised laboratory equipment would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar future opportunities. The successful bidder, Merck Life Sciences, exemplifies the type of company that can benefit from such contracts, thereby driving further business growth within the sector.
