Tender description

24 EVOS systems are being purchased to facilitate development of more up to date teaching practicals using new methodologies and techniques that have been developed in recent years which are not at present used for undergraduate teaching. These include increased high quality imaging which will work for both teaching and research and the linkability of the system will let all groups in a class focus on this imaging. Allied to this some of the Cell Analysis Systems will be used by our school research groups in their grant funded studies, hopefully assisting in bringing in more funding to the School of Biomedical Sciences. The items will be located in the BMTO East/West labs for undergraduate teaching and will be loaned to HRB researchers as and when teaching needs permit. It is envisioned that we will also be able to offer more Honours projects to 4th years students with increased relevance to the present day fields of biomedical research.

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.
