## Summary

The University of Edinburgh, functioning as the buying organisation, has completed a procurement process titled "Agilent Service Contract IRR Flow Cytometry," focused within the education industry category. The procurement pertains to a three-year service contract for equipment located in the IRR Flow Cytometry Facility in Edinburgh, UK. The process reached the award stage, with the contract officially signed on 18th August 2025. This tender utilised a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication due to Agilent Technologies being the exclusive service provider for the necessary Novocyte instruments, ensuring proper maintenance critical for research outcomes.

This tender presents growth opportunities particularly for large businesses engaged in the service and maintenance of specialised scientific equipment. Given the exclusive nature of the service required, businesses similar to Agilent Technologies—those with proprietary technologies or exclusive rights—stand well-suited to compete in such procurement processes.
