## Summary

The University of Leeds is seeking tenders for the procurement of a Benchtop NMR spectrometer, aimed at advancing research in the School of Chemical and Process Engineering. This procurement falls within the goods category and is classified under the CPV code for spectrometers. The tender is currently active and will close on 11th July 2018. The contract period is set to begin on 18th July 2018, lasting until 18th July 2021. The total value of the contract is £100,000, with a minimum threshold of £50,000. This tender follows an open procurement method.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in the supply of scientific instruments and equipment. Given the specific requirements for the Benchtop NMR spectrometer, businesses with experience in developing or providing analytical equipment for chemical processes would be well-positioned to compete. The project's focus on developing intelligent systems for polymer manufacturing could also offer pathways for innovative technology firms to demonstrate their capabilities, further fostering business growth in this sector.

## Notice

The School of Chemical and Process Engineering at the University of Leeds is seeking tenders for a Benchtop NMR spectrometer. This instrument will be used to conduct online and offline analysis of reactions. This is critical for a project which aims to develop self-learning 'intelligent' systems for the manufacture of polymers. NMR is by far the most convenient method of characterising these materials, but larger 'high field' instruments are cumbersome, not portable and require dedicated technician. Furthermore, the high sensitivity is not necessary for the application herein. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
