## Summary

The University of Edinburgh has recently completed a public procurement process for the acquisition of an L-4 HPV Generator, in compliance with MHRA’s updated sterilisation requirements for aseptic dispensing of radiotracer. The contract, awarded and signed on 16th February 2024, entails a modification to the existing equipment supplied by the original manufacturer, Von Gahlen, to ensure legal compliance for the newly acquired PET Scanner. The procurement was conducted through a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, primarily due to the technical complexities and absence of competition in this specialised field. The contract, valued at £372,450 GBP, will be fulfilled at the University of Edinburgh, located at Charles Stewart House, Chambers Street, Edinburgh, UKM75.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in advanced medical equipment, particularly those with expertise in GMP product sterilisation and radiotracer technology. Companies with a proven track record in delivering technically complex modifications and those capable of meeting stringent legal and regulatory standards would find such tenders valuable for business growth. The unique requirements and limited competition in this sector highlight the need for specialised providers, paving the way for similar future procurement processes where technical proficiency and niche expertise are paramount.
