Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bristol has completed a procurement process for an X-Ray Diffractometer under the High Value Laboratory Equipment framework (LAB 3162 NW). The contract, valued at £213,600, has been awarded to Rigaku Europe SE. The equipment, a single X-ray diffractometer with computer-controlled hardware and software, will assist in precise structural analysis of materials, particularly in crystal quality assessment and strain evaluation in thin films. The procurement stage is marked as 'Award,' with the contract period extending from 11 September 2024 to 10 September 2025. Located in the South West of England, the project falls under the industry category of 'Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses)' with postal code BS1 5DS. The tender was conducted through a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of high-precision laboratory equipment, especially those specialising in X-ray analytical instruments. It is ideal for firms capable of providing advanced diffractometry solutions and custom software integrations. While the procurement was not targeted at SMEs or VCSEs, larger enterprises with robust experience in scientific equipment manufacturing and distribution would find this contract highly beneficial for expanding their market presence in the academic and research sectors.
