## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by The University of Nottingham, seeks tenders for the project titled "Dynamic and Correlative Imaging using Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (DCI-TERS)." This initiative falls within the goods category, specifically targeting the mass spectrometer industry, and has been published on 24 February 2022. The tender period is set to conclude on 28 March 2022, with the contract commencing on 31 October 2022 and running until 30 October 2023. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, allowing wider participation.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in advanced imaging technologies and analytical equipment. Companies capable of providing state-of-the-art spectrometers, emission measurement equipment, or spectrum analysers would be particularly well-suited to compete in this process. Engaging in this procurement could facilitate collaborations and growth for suppliers within the scientific research sector, especially those who possess the requisite experience and technological capabilities to meet the specifications outlined by the University.

## Notice

The University requests tenders from sufficiently experienced and qualified Suppliers to establish a contract for the provision of a state-of-the-art capability for physicochemical imaging of molecular materials with nanoscale precision at both the liquid-solid and gas-solid interfaces based on Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS). The single-platform analytical tool will be flexibly configured to enable molecular fingerprint imaging of materials significantly below the diffraction limit for sampling both liquids and solids, with near-single-molecule-level sensitivity, correlatable with 3D topographical analysis and other surface physical characteristics from a single nanoscale volume, and in response to temperature, humidity and electrical potential (aka "Dynamic and Correlative Imaging using Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy" (DCI-TERS)). Additional information: The University will be going out to market shortly for a Dynamic and Correlative Imaging using Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (DCI-TERS) . You have been identified as a supplier who may be interested in this opportunity. If so the portal that will be used to advertise the opportunity is below. If you could register as a supplier you will then be able to view the opportunity once it goes live. https://in-tendhost.co.uk/universityofnottingham/aspx/Home Title - Dynamic and Correlative Imaging using Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (DCI-TERS) Reference - 1686-ITT-JRB Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
