## Summary

The University of Edinburgh procured a three-year service and support agreement for two heavily used Agilent Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) instruments in its ICP Research Laboratory. The requirement covers multi-instrument equipment servicing and technical support, rather than the purchase of new laboratory equipment. It is a specialist laboratory equipment maintenance service, classified under CPV 50000000 for repair and maintenance services. Delivery is at the University’s ICP Research Laboratory in Edinburgh. The buyer is the University of Edinburgh, an education organisation and public body. The equipment is used in research, so suppliers need to understand the operational demands of heavily used analytical instruments and the importance of maintaining reliable laboratory capacity.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Agilent Technologies. It used an open procedure and was awarded against the LAB1029 Mass Spectrometry & Chromatography Equipment framework. One electronic bid was recorded, with no SME bids. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and is active, with an awarded contract value of £83,842.92. The agreement covers three years and relates to one lot for the consolidated service contract. The published procurement information records the University’s established positive working relationship with Agilent and its responsive technical support, but the outcome is an award rather than an opportunity to submit a bid. The requirement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award indicates demand from the University of Edinburgh for specialist, multi-instrument support for Agilent ICP-MS equipment. Suppliers seeking to compete when this requirement next returns would need proven capability in servicing and supporting ICP-MS instruments in a research laboratory, with sufficient technical capacity to cover multiple heavily used instruments under one agreement. The successful supplier profile is a large, technically specialised equipment manufacturer or service provider able to provide responsive support and maintain dependable instrument availability. Credibility would also come from experience supporting analytical laboratory equipment in an academic or research environment, understanding the consequences of service interruptions, and delivering coordinated coverage across the instrument estate. Familiarity with the relevant mass spectrometry and chromatography equipment framework route would be commercially useful.
