Purchase of In Vivo Optical Imaging System
The contract covers the purchase of an in vivo optical imaging system for the University of Lancaster, a higher education institution conducting teaching and research. The supplier is expected to provide equipment that meets the buyer’s stated technical specification, including any additional technical requirements, with performance assessed on specification compliance, added value, sustainability, and the price to supply. The procurement concerns goods rather than installation or ongoing services, although the full equipment requirements are contained in the buyer’s detailed tender documentation. No estimated contract value, contract duration, delivery location, or regional delivery information is provided. The purchase is stated to be VAT exempt. The most critical qualification requirement is compliance with the required specification, as this is expressly identified as a primary assessment criterion alongside technical requirements, added value, sustainability, and price.
