## Summary

The University of Aberdeen has awarded a maintenance contract for specialist lab equipment, specifically the CytoFLEX SRT. This procurement falls under the education sector and is classified within the services category. The contract was awarded to Beckman Coulter. The contract is located in Aberdeen, and relevant procurement activities concluded on 4th March 2025, the contract having been signed on this date. This tender was conducted using a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition due to the proprietary nature of the equipment and services required.

This award presents growth opportunities for businesses involved in the service and maintenance of lab equipment, especially those specializing in proprietary or highly specialized scientific equipment. Companies with capabilities in providing technical support, servicing high-tech laboratory instruments, or those interested in forming partnerships with entities like Beckman Coulter would find such tender opportunities beneficial. Being well-suited to businesses in the scientific equipment maintenance sector, this contract illustrates the potential for similar niche market engagements where proprietary access and specialised skills are required.
