The total contract value is £65,000, and the procurement method used was an open procedure. The contract period is set to commence on 24th March 2021 and run until 31st March 2021. The procurement is classified under the goods category, specifically for chromatographs, and was awarded on 16th February 2021. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses, especially small or medium enterprises (SMEs), in the field of laboratory equipment and instrumentation. Companies that specialise in providing scientific analytical instruments, particularly those with capabilities in constructing systems for ionic concentration measurement, would be well-suited to compete. With the growing demand for advanced laboratory technologies in environmental science, businesses positioned in this niche may find significant potential for growth by engaging in similar procurement processes. ## Notice Northumbria University require an ion chromatograph and connected pump injection system, to measure ionic concentrations in a variety of natural waters. The ion chromatograph will be used in a geography and environmental science laboratory on a regular basis (daily to weekly). It must be delivered to us within 6 weeks from the date of purchase. We require that the system capable of running 2mm and 4um columns - and these must be included in the system quotation. The system must be able to run both suppressed anions and suppressed cations from one instrument, allowing the option to switch between these chemistries as needed. Electrolytic eluent generation must be offered integrated into the system. Eluent generation must allow the ability to change concentration throughout a run. Please quote hydroxide compatible columns and suppressors. We also require an integrated autosampler that allows individual filtration of sample at least a 20 microns, facilitating the removal of particulates during sample loading automatically. The autosampler must have sample overlap capabilities to start sample preparation while the instrument is acquiring data 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. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e88f48ea-f282-421b-b31f-580b6c11794b | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Feb 2021 | | Submission deadline | 16 Feb 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 16 Feb 2021 | | Contract period | 24 Mar 2021 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £65,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £65,000 | | 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 | NORTHUMBRIA UNIVERSITY | | Locality | NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE | | Post town | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE1 8ST | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC43 Tyneside | | Local authority | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Electoral ward | Monument | | Westminster constituency | Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | THERMO ELECTRON MANUFACTURING LTD T/A THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38432200 - Chromatographs ## Release History - 23 Feb 2021 at 15:10 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e88f48ea-f282-421b-b31f-580b6c11794b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e88f48ea-f282-421b-b31f-580b6c11794b 23rd February 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/respondToList.html?noticeId=572801394 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
