Lot Information

Lot 1

The School of Chemistry requires two XPDs to collect high quality powder diffraction data from a variety of powders which include metal oxides, polymers, zeolites, mesoporous and nanomaterials. - Both of the XPD's must operate in transmission mode (primarily capillaries, but the option of a transmission foil sample holder could be an additional desirable feature). - Diffraction patterns are to be acquired using monochromatic Mo K1 radiation for both XPD's. - The transmission XPD must permit collection of diffraction data from 2th=1. - Angular accuracy, resolution and counting rate must enable collection of high-quality powder diffraction data, suitable for structure determination and/or refinement, in 3-6 hours on each XPD. - One of the XPDs must be equipped with a capillary reaction stage, which is allows experiments to be carried out under a range of different gaseous atmospheres at temperatures of up to 1800 degC. - An automatic sample changer (for capillary samples) for one XPD is desirable and should be included in the tender as an optional extra. - Each XPD must be equipped with a desktop PC with Windows 10 with a network card to enable integration of the computer into the local network of the School. Each computer must be equipped with the software to enable acquisition and visualisation of powder diffraction patterns, as well as basic operations (peak search, background elimination, etc) and conversion of the data into 2-column ASCII format and other formats accepted by all popular software packages for phase identification, indexing, structure determination and refinement, including PDF, Crysfire, GSAS, GSAS-II, FULLPROF, TOPAS, FOX. - The XPD software license must cover either multiple installation of the software (up to 100) or allow simultaneous remote use of the software over the School of Chemistry network.

        "reviewDetails": "The University of St Andrews will incorporate a minimum of 10 calendar day standstill period at the point of information on the award of the contract being communicated to tenderers. This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further debriefing from the contracting authority before the contract is entered into. Applicants have 2 working days from the notification of the award decision to request additional debriefing and that information has to be provided a minimum of 3 working days before the expiry of the standstill period. Such additional information should be requested from The University of St Andrews. If an appeal regarding the award of contract has not been successfully resolved The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2012 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rule to take action in the Sheriff Court or Court of Session. The anticipated review body in such cases would be: Dundee Sheriff Court 6 West Bell Street Dundee DD1 9AD Telephone: +44 1382 229 961 Anyone bringing court proceedings against the University of St Andrews must inform the University of St Andrews in advance of the alleged breach and its intention to bring proceedings. Any such action must be brought within 15 days of the date on which a decision is sent to them or published to challenge that decision. Proceedings seeking an ineffectiveness order must be brought within 30 days of the publication of the contract award notice in the OJEU, or 30 days from the date of a decision letter to all tenderers concerned, and any candidates concerned, containing a summary of the reason for the recipient being unsuccessful, otherwise 6 months from the date of entering into the contract or concluding the framework agreement. Where a contract has not been entered into the Court may, by interim order, suspend the procurement procedure. The court may also set aside a decision or actions taken by the University or order it to amend and document; and/or award damages. However, by express requirement the court may decide not to grant an interim order when the negative consequences of such an order are likely to outweigh the benefits, having regard to a number of considerations. If the contract has been entered into the Court may, depending on the nature of the breach: make an ineffectiveness order; impose a financial penalty; shorten the duration of the contract; make any other order considered appropriate to address the consequences of ineffectiveness or shortening the duration or the contract; award damages."
