The procurement method used was a negotiated procedure without prior publication, above the threshold amount. The contract value is GBP 765,275, and the contract period is from 8th November 2022 to 7th November 2027. The tender deadline was on 7th October 2022, and the delivery address is in DH1 3LE, England. Durham University is the buyer organisation, and the main procurement category is goods. This tender for a mass spectrometer by Durham University presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in providing sophisticated analytical equipment. Suitable businesses should focus on high-performance mass spectrometry technology catering to proteomics facilities. The contract duration of five years provides a stable revenue stream for the supplier and allows for technology transfer between laboratories. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations should consider this opportunity for business expansion. ## Notice VEAT NOTICE The University has a requirement to purchase an ion mobility mass spectrometer with associated liquid chromatography system for a dedicated proteomics facility. The University has published this VEAT notice and intends to award a contract to Bruker Ltd, following the expiry of 10 days from the date of publication of this notice. Additional information: The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason: absence of competition for technical reasons as detailed below: * Achieve high sensitivity and near 100% ion utilisation through the use of trapped ion mobility or other technologies * Capable of separating chromatographically co-eluting positional isomers of peptides containing post-translational modifications by trapped ion mobility. * Provide high MS/MS scan speeds exceeding 120 Hz, to allow for high throughput sample analyses using short chromatographic gradients whilst maintaining high peptide identification rates * Perform real-time database searches of peptide spectra in order to deliver a complete peptide database search result by the end of the run. * Capable of measuring and incorporating Collisional Cross Section (CCS) values into the database search algorithm to improve peptide identification rates. * Capable of highly selective targeted assays such as Parallel Reaction Monitoring (PRM), ideally by selecting peptide targets through a combination of mass over charge and ion mobility * Mirror new proteomic analytical hardware provided to a partner laboratory and enable method and technology transfer between the labs. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6b1f1613-19a0-48c7-b978-aae6e92d97f4 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Negotiated procedure without prior publication (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Oct 2022 | | Submission deadline | 7 Oct 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 26 Oct 2022 | | Contract period | 8 Nov 2022 - 7 Nov 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £765,275 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £765,275 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DURHAM UNIVERSITY | | Locality | DURHAM | | Post town | Durham | | Postcode | DH1 3LE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC41 Durham | | Local authority | County Durham | | Electoral ward | Durham South | | Westminster constituency | City of Durham | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | BRUKER | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38433100 - Mass spectrometer ## Release History - 27 Oct 2022 at 22:21 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6b1f1613-19a0-48c7-b978-aae6e92d97f4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6b1f1613-19a0-48c7-b978-aae6e92d97f4 27th October 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.durham.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
