## Summary

The procurement process concerns the supply, installation, and commissioning of a Mass Spectrometer for the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Sheffield. The initiative is classified under goods and falls within the mass spectrometry industry category. This selective procurement was carried out through a call-off from the APUC Agreement specifically related to Mass Spectrometry and Chromatography Equipment. The tender period concluded on 7th December 2021, and the awarded contract is valued at £775,000, with a contract duration starting from 31st March 2022 until 31st March 2023, located in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the scientific instrumentation sector, particularly those specialising in mass spectrometry and associated analytical technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to explore participation as suppliers, especially those capable of delivering innovative solutions tailored to the analysis of biomolecules. The emphasis on complex mixtures of oligonucleotides, peptides, and proteins creates a niche market for expert suppliers in these fields.

## Notice

Supply, installation and commissioning of a mass spectrometer or combination of mass spectrometers and appropriate coupled nano/cap flow LC equipment (at least one per mass spectrometer), is required by the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering. Instrumentation should be suitable for mass spectrometry analysis of a range of biomolecules with an emphasis on oligonucleotides, peptides, proteins, both alone and in complex mixtures. This exercise was only open to suppliers on the following framework agreement: Lot 5 of APUC Agreement ref. LAB1016AP for the Supply of Mass Spectrometry and Chromatography Equipment.
