Coverage: 57 active published awards; 54 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
The University wishes to purchase a high-repetition-rate ultrafast laser system. The laser will be used for ‘universal’ strong-field ionisation of small molecules (e.g. H2, CO, C2H4, C2H6) in a gas-surface heterogeneous chemical kinetics experiment. The laser system will be installed on a 2.5 x 1.2 m laser table in a laser-laboratory situated in its School of Engineering and Physical Sciences on its Edinburgh campus
