## Summary

The University of Edinburgh has awarded a contract for the maintenance of a Cyclotron to GE Healthcare. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract is valued at GBP 638,762 and was signed on 13th December 2022. The University stated that due to the specialist nature of the equipment, only GE Healthcare personnel have the required knowledge and competence to maintain the Cyclotron effectively. The contract covers the provision of services in the education industry category.

This contract for the maintenance of the Cyclotron at The University of Edinburgh presents opportunities for businesses involved in providing specialist maintenance services for highly technical equipment. Companies with expertise in maintaining complex scientific instruments, access to specific software, and knowledge of radiopharmaceutical production could be well-suited to compete for such tenders. Due to the equipment's technical requirements and risks associated with maintenance, competitors need to demonstrate a high level of competence in handling and servicing the Cyclotron.

## Notice

The maintenance of a Cyclotron that is used to produce radiopharmaceuticals.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The maintenance of a Cyclotron that is used to produce PET radioisotope to manufacture PET radiopharmaceuticals allowing PET scanning of patients and support clinical research.

Options: The University reserves the right to extend the maintenance cover for the Cyclotron.

### Procurement Information

The cyclotron has been manufactured, installed and maintained for a number of years by GE Healthcare. Given the highly specialist nature of the equipment and risks associated with it, only GE Healthcare personnel have the knowledge and competence to make any adjustment, maintenance or repairs. Effective maintenance of the cyclotron requires a supplier with access to the associated software, replacement parts and consumable items that are produced/provided by GE Healthcare. In addition, from time to time components become End-Of-Life and can no longer be maintained, and GE Healthcare are continually developing replacement components, along with their integration. For the reasons above, technically it is not possible for any supplier other than GE Healthcare to safely and reliably maintain the cyclotron.
