UNIVERSITY OF ST ANDREWS

This public procurement record has 2 releases in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The University of St Andrews is currently engaged in a public procurement process for "New Sample Preparation and Introduction Systems for Isotope Analysis by Plasma Mass Spectrometry," aimed at the education sector in the UK. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender submission deadline was set for 14 December 2020. Interested suppliers are expected to meet specific requirements for two key systems: an automated ion exchange chromatography system and a sample introduction system for ICPMS. This tender has been awarded with the contracts signed on 22 December 2020, each having active statuses and significant values of £41,039.96 and £17,071.31 respectively.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in scientific instruments and equipment, particularly those with expertise in analytical chemistry and automated systems. Suppliers with capabilities to deliver advanced technologies that meet the specified requirements, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with innovative solutions, would find a valuable chance to participate in this contract, potentially fostering long-term partnerships with a leading academic institution like the University of St Andrews.

Notice Title

New Sample Preparation and Introduction Systems for Isotope Analysis by Plasma Mass Spectrometry

Notice Description

Requirements 1) Automated ion exchange chromatography system A completely automated system for separating and collecting elements of interest from complex sample matrices via low pressure chromatography. The system should automate acid washes, column conditioning, sample loading, and elution, while allowing for collection of multiple fractions. The model should have the flexibility to change the chemistry of the automated protocol to focus on different elements as well. Specifically we are interested in small volume sample applications, with elements such as boron and sulfur. 2) Sample introduction system for ICPMS. A desolvating nebulizer introduction system for ICPMS isotope measurements. It should be able to withstand trace HF acid and be flexibly used for multiple isotopic systems (any contamination can be efficiently cleaned away). Tender submissions must confirm if these requirements can be met and demonstrate how the proposed equipment will do so.
