Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh recently completed a procurement process for a dual output picoEmerald S laser system, which falls under the category of laboratory and precision equipment. This tender was initiated under a limited procurement method without prior publication, specifically targeting the technical requirements suited to SRS microscopy. The delivery location for this project is the Edinburgh Cancer Research Centre, and the contract was signed on 3rd March 2021, with a total value of £267,135.20.

This procurement opportunity is advantageous for businesses specialising in high-precision optical and laboratory equipment, particularly those experienced in manufacturing lasers for biological applications. Companies that can demonstrate breadth of functionality and cost-effectiveness are well-suited to compete in similar tenders, fostering potential growth through engagement with academic and research institutions like the University of Edinburgh.

Notice Information

Notice Title

picoEmerald S laser system

Notice Description

Dual output laser combining a fixed wavelength beam to act as a Stokes beam; and a tunable laser beam that covers the biological Raman spectrum range.

Lot Information

Lot 1

A dual-output packaged laser solution that operates as a 'turn key' system. This would combine a fixed wavelength beam to act as a Stokes beam, and a tunable laser beam that covers the biological Raman spectrum range when combined with the Stokes beam, all housed in one box requiring little specialist knowledge to run, as well as offering a small footprint and help with health and safety requirements. This will form part of a multimodal imaging platform which is designed to complement our work on Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) microscopy.

Procurement Information

Although a number of manufacturers produce dual output lasers for biological use that cover many of the requirements, they are femtosecond lasers. The spectral bandwidth on these laser pulses are typically around 100 cm-1 making them ideal for fluorescence and harmonic imaging but unsuitable for SRS imaging of narrow Raman bands that we require.
