Lot Information
Lot 1
This procurement is for the purchase of a benchtop EPR Spectrometer which is a 12- month contract including delivery, installation and 12-month warranty period. This particular specification could not be supported by any providers and therefore has been awarded to Linev UK Limited. Three key specifications that were not met, not a benchtop model, maximum microwave power needed to meet 200mW and finally highest temperature control needed to meet up to 500 degree C. These three requirements were not met by any other supplier. No alternative specifications could be used as it would have a direct impact on the research outputs and deliverables
Procurement Information
All suppliers on the Framework LAB3162 HVLE Lot 3 Spectroscopy Equipment including Associated Equipment, Accessories, Consumables, Maintenance and Servicing of Equipment was used to determine if the requirements could be met. This route was unsuccessful, with suppliers either not able to meet the meet the specification or did not respond. Market research was undertaken and it was deemed there were no suppliers outside the framework that could meet the requirements.

No other providers out-with those on Framework LAB3162 and the Linev Group were identified during risk and market testing by Procurement.
