Summary of the contracting process

The University of Warwick has completed the procurement of a GPC/SEC Multi Detector System. This tender, classified under goods procurement, aimed to purchase a specialised chromatography instrument. The University of Warwick, located in Coventry, United Kingdom, sought expertise in polymer characterisation for applications in various industries. The procurement method was an open procedure, with the University being the buyer. The contract was signed on January 26, 2023, with Agilent Technologies LDA UK Ltd winning the award.

This tender by the University of Warwick presents opportunities for businesses involved in chromatography instruments and related analytical technologies. Companies offering advanced analytical instrumentation and solutions for polymer characterisation stand to benefit. With a focus on high-quality analysis for polymer and material researchers, businesses in the laboratory equipment sector, specifically chromatographs and spectrometers, are well-suited to compete. The University's procurement stage was at the award status, with key dates being the contract signing on January 26, 2023, and an active award period.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The University of Warwick has a requirement to purchase a Multi-Detector Size Exclusion/Gel Permeation Chromatography Instrument.The Polymer Characterisation Research Technology Platform has been established to enable polymer and material researchers to achieve high quality analysis of materials such as polymers and composites to further the development of advanced materials. Need for this facility is driven by scientists in the University of Warwick and external industry who require expertise and advanced analytical instrumentation in elucidation of composition and structure in materials such as polymers for applications in oil, personal care and medical sciences. The applications of the technology forming this facility are wide and the facility will offer services to scientists both in Warwick, the surrounding region and beyond - including internationallyrtp.The linchpin of the Polymer Characterisation RTP is its Size Exclusion/Gel Permeation capabilities. These instruments allow for the measurement of the molecular weight averages of a material, but also the distribution of chains. When advanced detectors are used (light scattering and viscometry) true molecular weights and structural information can be obtained. With a push for multi-detector/advanced analysis in industry and academia, in order to remain competitive we must have a suite of instruments with these capabilities. The Polymer Characterisation Research Technology Platform is service-oriented, and has users from multiple disciplines (engineering, physics and chemistry), therefore ease of use and reliable performance are essential. Where possible, we seek to enhance our existing analytical equipment (including Agilent SEC, Malvern particle sizing and Mettler-Toledo thermal analysis).
