This procurement falls within the goods category, specifically focusing on spectroscopy devices. The tender, labelled 2018/1416/HXPS-R/WF, is in the Tender stage and has a deadline for submissions set for 18th May 2018. The successful contract is expected to begin on 31st May 2018 and conclude by 30th April 2019. The procurement process follows an open procedure and the contract will be based at the Henry Royce Institute in Manchester, North West England. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the advanced materials and spectroscopy sectors, especially those capable of providing innovative systems and technologies. With the contract being part of the University’s establishment of the Sir Henry Royce Institute, companies that can demonstrate expertise in high-throughput measurements, non-destructive testing, and analytical instrumentation will be well-suited to compete. Collaborations with academia or existing experience in similar projects could enhance a bidder's competitiveness in this opportunity. ## Notice The University wishes to appoint a Contractor or Contractors to supply a system for high-throughput hard and soft x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy for non-destructive probing of the bulk and surface chemical environment in material systems (including buried interfaces, layered 2D materials, and thin coatings) to be based in the Henry Royce Institute. The University of Manchester will be home to a new national research and innovation centre in advanced materials, the Sir Henry Royce Institute (SHRI). The new Institute, supported by industrial partners, will have its Hub in Manchester. The founding partners, comprise the Universities of Sheffield, Leeds, Liverpool, Cambridge, Oxford and Imperial College London, along with National Nuclear Labs (NNL) and the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE).
