## Summary

The University Of Edinburgh has awarded a contract for a Flatbed Laser Cutter with AMS Technology Solutions Limited. The procurement method was a limited award procedure without prior publication, aimed at enhancing existing infrastructure economies of maintenance support visits and improving teaching and learning experiences for students. The tender was completed on May 29, 2023, with a contract value of £58,680. The procurement focused on goods in the Education industry category, with the delivery location specified at Edinburgh College of Art, Edinburgh.

This tender for a Flatbed Laser Cutter from The University Of Edinburgh presents business growth opportunities for suppliers specialising in laser cutting and engraving systems within the Education sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in supplying and servicing laser cutting equipment could leverage this contract to expand their business. The unique rationale for the limited procurement method underscores a tailored approach to supplier selection and strengthens ties between the University and AMS Technology Solutions Limited for streamlined maintenance and enhanced student experiences.

## Notice

Stand-alone flatbed laser cutting and engraving systems and control software, plus laser extraction system.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Purchase of a flatbed laser cutter and associated control software, fume extraction system and service support.

### Procurement Information

This machine complements an existing installed 4-system base of cutters from the same supplier, and will use the same software management system supplied by that supplier, including the packaged team viewer application. It will also come under a single expanded maintenance regime so will have economies of maintenance support visits, commonality of spares and interoperability. Training on the new system will also be facilitated by having the same manufacturer. Operating multiple manufacturer systems with different technical characteristics would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance, and also degrade the teaching and learning experience for students, contrary to The University's Strategy 2030 objectives to improve and sustain student satisfaction.
