## Summary

The University Of Edinburgh, acting as both the buyer and central purchasing body, has completed the procurement process for the "Software update Siemens MRI scanner" project, which falls under the education sector. The project involved purchasing hardware upgrades and additional software to enhance the MRI machine's imaging capabilities, as well as related training. The procurement method used was limited, without prior publication of a call for competition, as Siemens Healthineers was the only supplier capable of providing the necessary update. The procurement stage is now at the award and contract completion point, with the contract having been signed on 1st May 2025. The delivery location is specified as the University of Edinburgh with the project classified under goods, bearing the CPV code 48318000.

This tender specifically caters to businesses in the medical technology sector, with particular emphasis on suppliers capable of providing specialised hardware and software updates compatible with Siemens MRI machines. The procurement process favoured original equipment manufacturers (OEM) who can deliver customised solutions for research and development purposes, representing a niche market opportunity. Though the supplier awarded is a large entity, the contract, valued at £133,920, stands as a testament to potential future collaborative opportunities for businesses specialising in similar technological solutions tailored for educational and research institutions. This contract underscores the scope for innovation-driven growth, aligning with the university's commitment to advancing its technological arsenal.
