Tender description

The Small Animal Cardiology Services at The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies and The Roslin Institute has received funding to replace its current cardiac ultrasound machine. As a specialist veterinary referral cardiology centre, the facility receives a high volume of cases, including cats, dogs, and sometimes exotic species. Given the diverse range of body conformations and sizes, the replacement machine must be robust and can provide exceptionally high-quality imaging. These cases range from straightforward to highly complex cardiac conditions, the functionality of a replacement machine must reflect this, with high sample rates, colour mapping, tissue Doppler imaging, strain and 3D capability.

About the buyer

University of Edinburgh buys as a higher education institution, through its own Procurement function. Larger tenders are advertised on Public Contract Scotland, via the PCS-T e-tendering platform. Suppliers must register separately on both systems before bidding. Much of this procurement flows through framework agreements with APUC, Scotland Excel and the Crown Commercial Service. Prior information notices invite market engagement from suppliers ahead of larger tenders. The Strategic Procurement team leads regulated sourcing, while Operational Procurement manages day-to-day purchase orders. A Procurement Support team handles reporting, data analysis and training across the function.

Education procurement reached £47.4bn in 2024/25, the fourth-largest public sector budget.

Over the past 5 years, most of University of Edinburgh's contract awards have been in laboratory and precision equipment, medical equipment and pharmaceuticals and software and information systems.
