Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Leeds has completed a public procurement process for a Nanomanipulator upgrade for an Analytical Cryo-enabled versatile Focused Ion Beam / Scanning Electron Microscope instrument. The award was made to Tescan, the original manufacturer of the instrument, who was appointed through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition due to the absence of competition for technical reasons. This contract, valued at £31,879, was signed on 7th October 2024 and is located in Leeds, within the UKE42 region. The procurement was classified under the industry category for Scanning Electron Microscopes (CPV 38511100) and falls within the 'goods' procurement category.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in high-precision scientific instrumentation and upgrades, particularly those with capabilities in cryo-electron microscopy and ion beam technologies. Companies that can provide specialised equipment or services compatible with existing sophisticated instruments could benefit from partnering with universities and research institutions, potentially leading to further contracts in the scientific research sector. Given Tescan's involvement as the supplier, businesses in the same niche market that offer complementary technologies or services may also find collaborative opportunities to innovate and expand their offerings within this specialised industry segment.
