Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by Cardiff University, involves the tender for a Tip Enhanced Raman Spectrometer, falling under the goods category in the analysis apparatus industry. This procurement is located in Cardiff, UK, and is currently in the award stage. The contract has a value of £371,629 and was signed on 18th October 2021. The procurement method utilised is 'limited', which entails an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, specifically due to the exclusive availability of the required equipment from Nanonics Imaging Ltd.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced scientific equipment and analysis apparatus. Companies with capabilities in innovative imaging technologies, particularly those aligned with spectrometry and nanotechnology, may find competitive advantages in this market. Given the unique nature of the patented technology required for this tender, suppliers who can demonstrate expertise in niche scientific instruments may particularly benefit, as competition is limited due to the procurement's exclusive nature.

Notice Title

Tip Ehanced Raman Spectrometer

Notice Description

Tip Enhanced Raman spectrometer (TERS) which will provide nanometre resolved vibrational spectroscopy and chemical imaging with which to study a wide range of biomaterials, biofluids and biological tissues. Nanonics hold the patent that means they are the only manufacturer that can offer an instrument that can deliver the in situ TERS measurements of externally induced phenomenon we need. The patented system also delivers Q factors > 1000 in liquids (about 100x better than anyone else achieves even with a non-TERS AFM ) and force measurements <5 pN (10x lower than any non-TERS system).
