## Summary

The University of Edinburgh has completed a procurement process for an FTIR Microscope, awarding the contract on 16th December 2024. The procurement falls under the Education industry category and was undertaken through an open procedure. The microscope, specifically the Nicolet iS50 and RaptIR system by Thermo Fisher Scientific, will be delivered to the School of Chemistry at the University. The contracting process has now moved to the active contract stage with a total contract value of £76,649.39. This procurement was part of a collaborative framework (NWUPC, HVLE LAB3162, Lot 3) for Spectroscopy Equipment including accessories and maintenance services.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for companies specialising in scientific equipment and associated services, particularly those who can supply high-quality analytical instruments and related maintenance services. Large-scale businesses with the capability to deliver sophisticated laboratory equipment would be well-suited to compete in similar procurement processes. Given the focus on advanced scientific apparatus and the educational sector, suppliers who can provide robust and innovative solutions to academic institutions could find substantial business growth through such contracts.
