The University of Glasgow has awarded a contract for the provision of a (scanning) transmission electron microscope, designated as tender "PURCH2379". The procurement process followed an open procedure under the main category of goods and was managed by the University's Procurement Office located in Glasgow. The contract was awarded to FEI UK Ltd with the final agreement signed on 3rd October 2024. This procurement falls under the education industry category and the equipment will be delivered to Glasgow, specifically to the Kelvin Nanocharacterisation Centre (KNC) for research and teaching purposes. Key dates included a revised tender submission deadline, extended to 12th July 2024, and the contract was formally awarded on 23rd October 2024.
