## Summary

The University of Edinburgh initiated a procurement process through a limited method to award a service contract to Andor Technology for the maintenance of a Dragonfly instrument. As the original equipment manufacturer, Andor Technology was the sole candidate due to technical reasons necessitating direct award. The procurement, categorised under services, aligns with Education industry needs and is located in Edinburgh, UK (region UKM75). The award, tagged under the contract stage, was completed with the contract valued at £55,000, signed on 27 November 2025, and became active subsequently. The contract was governed without prior publication of a call for competition, emphasising continuity and technical efficacy within its scope.

This tender provides unique opportunities for those specialised in equipment maintenance services, especially enterprises capable of meeting the specific technical requirements set by the procurement authority. Large companies equipped with expertise in high-tech instrumentation would find themselves well-suited to compete in such roles. While the initial direct award is complete, subsequent opportunities for similar services or supplementary contracts may arise, enabling growth for businesses capable of handling specialised technical service demands in the educational sector.
