Summary of the contracting process

The University of Leeds is currently conducting a tender process for the procurement of a "3D Digital Microscope" aimed at enhancing the capabilities within the School of Mechanical Engineering. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on microscopes, and is taking place in Leeds, located in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom. The tender is being carried out through an open procedure, with the submission deadline set for 4th October 2018. The estimated contract value is between £50,000 and £100,000, with the delivery period commencing from 10th October 2018 and concluding on 11th October 2021.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in optical and imaging technologies to expand their market presence. Businesses that manufacture or distribute advanced microscopy equipment, particularly those capable of providing high-resolution, multi-dimensional imaging solutions, would be well-positioned to compete. Participation in this procurement could not only result in a lucrative contract but also enhance a company’s reputation and foster future collaborations in the academic and research sectors.

Notice Information

Notice Title

GB-Leeds: E/3382- 3D Digital Microscope

Notice Description

The School of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Leeds is seeking tenders for an all-in-one digital microscope to view biological and mechatronics samples. We are looking for a 3D optical digital microscope to observe, capture, and measure macro-scale objects (with manual and motorised stage for 360 degree measurement), in both 2D and 3D in a single device. We are looking for real-time full-depth composition, visualisation, and analysis using high resolution CMOS sensors. This must enable high definition video microscopy at high frequency, multi-angle observation for complex 3D objects, and full-colour 3D surface topography of objects with large changes in height. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
