## Summary

The University of Southampton has awarded a contract for a Liquid Chromatography System in the field of chromatography and mass spectrometry. The tender was for a bioinert, ultra-performance liquid-chromatography system with a total value of £66,426.23. The procurement method was selective, with call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period is set to start on March 9, 2023, and end on May 8, 2028. The buying organisation, University of Southampton, is located in South East, United Kingdom.

This tender opportunity for the Liquid Chromatography System could be of interest to businesses dealing with analytical instruments and scientific equipment. Companies specialised in chromatographs and mass spectrometers would be well-suited to compete in this procurement process. The contract, with a 4-year post warranty service plan, offers a potential business growth opportunity for suppliers in the life sciences and research equipment industry.

## Notice

The University requires a bioinert, full ultra-performance liquid-chromatography system to directly interface with our existing Waters MS system (Synapt) to enable untargeted metabolomics to be performed. This system will be housed in the Clinical Metabolomics Unit at the University of Southampton based in the University Hospital Southampton. Due to the existing MS system based in the Unit there is no flexibility on the MS systems that this UPLC can be paired with. Contract has been procured with a 4 year post warranty service plan.
