## Summary

The University of Glasgow bought Fida Evolve, together with associated add-ons, services and maintenance. This is a scientific analysis instrument and related support, classified as laboratory analytical equipment (CPV 38430000). Delivery is in Glasgow. The requirement is for the University’s use of the Fida Evolve system and its associated products and ongoing support.

The procurement is complete: FIDA Biosystems ApS was selected, and the contract is active and signed. The contract value is £273,840. The stated contract arrangement has an initial three-year period, with two optional extensions of 12 months each, for a maximum period of five years. The procurement used a direct award without prior competition, justified on technical grounds. Quality and price each carried 50% of the evaluation weighting. One bid was recorded for the single lot; the bidder was an SME based in Denmark.

For suppliers considering a future requirement from the University of Glasgow, this award shows demand for the Fida Evolve system and its associated add-ons, services and maintenance. The buyer used a direct award on technical grounds, citing the requirement’s dependence on a particular operator and lack of competition for technical reasons. A credible competitor would therefore need to demonstrate that its system and associated support can meet the University’s technical requirements, alongside a competitive price and strong quality. The awarded supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement was served by a specialist supplier rather than necessarily requiring a large organisation. The procurement’s equal emphasis on quality and price is relevant to suppliers assessing their competitive position.
