The requirement is for equipment used together as a specific package, rather than a general technology service or construction project. Delivery is to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in Aberdeen. The named buyer is NHS Grampian, the health board serving the procurement. The equipment requirement falls within the business area of specialist suppliers of three-dimensional scanning, additive manufacturing and associated clinical, technical or design equipment. Suppliers able to provide the complete combination of scanner, high table and Cube printer would be the closest fit, particularly where the products are supplied as one integrated package. The procurement is complete and has been awarded. NHS Grampian used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, making a direct award because A.Algeo Ltd was considered the only supplier offering the required 3D printer option within its specific package. One bid was received, submitted electronically by an SME. A.Algeo Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and is active, with an awarded contract value of £111,129. The stated basis was technical absence of competition: the supplies could be provided only by a particular operator for technical reasons. The process therefore records a completed, single-supplier award rather than a competitive tender with multiple lots or suppliers. For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates NHS Grampian’s demand for specialist three-dimensional imaging and printing equipment for Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply the full equipment combination, including a 3D laser scanner, Cube single high table and Cube 3D printer, rather than only one component. The decision also shows that product configuration mattered: the selected supplier’s package included a printer option that the buyer considered unavailable from competing packages. Suppliers would therefore need clear evidence that their proposed package meets the required technical specification, offers compatible equipment as a complete solution and can provide reliable delivery to the NHS Grampian service location. Specialist equipment distributors, manufacturers and technically differentiated SMEs are the closest fit. ## Notice 3D laser scanner, cube single high table, cube 3D printer. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Direct award, due to supplier being the only supplier that offers 3D Printer option with their specific package. ### Procurement Information Direct award to supplier, as supplier offers 3D Printer option with their package. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP563536 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £111,129 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS Grampian | | Locality | ABERDEEN | | Postcode area | Aberdeen | | Postcode | AB15 6RE | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM5 North Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM50 Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire | | Local authority | Aberdeen City | | Electoral ward | Kingswells/Sheddocksley/Summerhill | | Westminster constituency | Aberdeen North | | Delivery location | TLM50 Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | A.ALGEO LIMITED | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38520000 - Scanners ## Release History - 1 Sep 2026 at 01:00 - Award - PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP563536 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP563536 Laser Scanner & 3d Printer - 3D laser scanner, cube single high table, cube 3D printer. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.nhsgrampian.org - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000841759 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
