## Summary

The University of Edinburgh has completed the procurement process for a mass photometer for its School of Life Sciences. This purchase falls under the education industry category and took place in Edinburgh, UK. The procurement method used was limited, without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the specific technical requirements needed for the mass photometer. The contract was signed on 31st March 2025 with the supplier, Refeyn Ltd. The procurement aimed to source a unique system capable of measurements at micromolar concentrations, vital for preserving the native state of biomolecular systems at higher concentrations.

This procurement presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in advanced scientific equipment. As the supplier was selected for their unique ability to meet specific technical requirements, firms with specialised products or services may find similar opportunities with organisations needing niche solutions. Companies in the scientific and technological sectors, particularly those with innovative solutions for biomedical or laboratory applications, would be well-suited to compete in such tenders. Engaging in public procurement with educational institutions like the University of Edinburgh can open doors for business growth and collaboration with leading research bodies.
