## Summary

The University Of Edinburgh has awarded the "ONT PromethION P24 Maintenance Contract" for extended warranty and preventative maintenance of the PromethION P24 instrument. This procurement falls under the education sector and is to be delivered at the University of Edinburgh, located in Edinburgh, UK. The procurement stage is complete with the contract awarded on 10th April 2025. The limited procurement method was chosen, bypassing prior publication of a call for competition, due to the technical necessity to maintain optimal performance of the research instrument.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in scientific equipment maintenance and repair services. Specifically, large enterprises with experience in supporting complex research instruments would be well-suited to compete, as the contract ensures ongoing support from the original equipment manufacturer Oxford Nanopore Technologies Ltd. Businesses that can provide high-quality maintenance and quick replacement parts will benefit from this ensured demand for extended warranty services, fostering continued collaboration with prestigious institutions like the University Of Edinburgh.
