## Summary

The University of Edinburgh, a body governed by public law, has successfully completed the procurement of a Radiochemistry Synthesiser to enhance its research capabilities. The procurement falls under the education sector, with the synthesiser intended to bolster the university's capacity to produce fluorine-18 radiotracers. Located in Edinburgh, the contract, identified by the number LIT0749, was conducted through an open procedure under the goods category. The final stage, the award phase, was completed as of 3rd October 2025, with the contract valued at £181,459. This successful completion marks a significant procurement milestone for the University, aiming to increase the efficiency of its radiochemistry production processes.

This procurement creates considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply of advanced radiochemistry equipment. Businesses with expertise in medical technology and radiochemistry solutions will find this project particularly fitting due to the specific requirements for integration and automatic systems to minimise production downtime. The open procurement method ensures a level playing field, encouraging large and small enterprises with competitive offerings to engage in future tenders. The successful bidder, SYNTHRA GMBH, a large-scale supplier, highlights the potential for similar companies across the EU to secure such procurement contracts. Engaging in these tenders can be a pivotal step in expanding market presence and collaboration with leading educational institutions.

## Notice

We wish to acquire a Synthesiser with the capability to generate fluorine-18 radiotracers, aiming to enhance our daily production capacity and research capabilities. Of paramount importance is the need for a fully integrated self-cleaning system, allowing automatic rinsing and cleaning of the module after each production cycle, eliminating the requirement to open the hot cell door. This feature is crucial in minimising downtime between fluorine-18 productions, thereby facilitating an increase in our daily output.
