Summary of the contracting process

The Centre for Process Innovation Ltd (CPI) has completed a procurement process for the supply, installation and commissioning of an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). This tender, classified under microscopes (CPV code 38510000), was managed through an open procedure. The contract was awarded on 16th August 2018, with a total value of £400,000. The contract period commenced on 20th August 2018 and will run until 19th February 2022. The procurement involved delivery options to various locations, including the UK and overseas territories, and the tender period originally closed on 22nd June 2018.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for suppliers specialising in scientific equipment, particularly those focused on microscopy and nanotechnology. Companies with experience in supplying high-precision instruments and supporting services, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), would be well-suited to compete in future tenders of a similar nature. The successful implementation of the AFM will enhance characterisation capabilities at CPI's graphene centre, potentially increasing demand for related technologies and services.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Supply, Installation and Commissioning of an Atomic Force Microscope

Notice Description

The Centre for Process Innovation Ltd (CPI) requires the following; Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a surface profiling technique which allows the topography of nanostructured surfaces to be mapped. Primarily AFMs are used for surface profiling and particle sizing however a series of secondary modes can provide maps of electrical conductivity, surface potentials and mechanical properties. As such a large sample area AFM will form an important characterization tool for the CPI's graphene centre where materials lateral dimensions and height must be measured independently. In addition the AFM will also support the characterization of spherical particles, conductive inks and vapour deposited films. The AFM will be used primarily for particle sizing and surface topography. However it will also be used to measure the conductivity of poorly conducting inks, surface potentials of vapour deposited films, and the mechanical properties of polymer composites. The latter application requires the ability to cycle the temperature (see URS specification) through the polymer glass transition, melt and cure temperatures.
