## Summary

The University of Leeds is currently seeking tenders for an integrated atomic force and confocal optical microscope, primarily intended for life science applications. This procurement is classified under the goods category, specifically focusing on microscopes, and has been published as an open method tender. The deadline for submitting responses is set for 3rd October 2017, and the delivery location is within the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom. The successful contract is anticipated to commence on 15th December 2017 and extend for one full year, concluding on 15th December 2018.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in the supply or manufacture of scientific equipment, especially those with capabilities in microscopy. Companies that can offer not just the complete system but are also prepared to partner for component supply will find this procurement particularly suited to their offerings. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as this project welcomes integrated packages and innovative solutions that demonstrate collaboration between suppliers.

## Notice

The University of Leeds is seeking tenders for a fully integrated atomic force and confocal optical microscope for life science applications. We seek responses for a complete, fully combined system, however it is recognised that a successful partnering arrangement can provide the required individual components as an integrated package. Preferably, the tender should be from a single vendor, although we may expect that service and support will be from the original manufacturer. We will accept responses for the individual components, however these must work as an integrated package with suppliers demonstrating that they are willing and have made appropriate arrangements to partner with each other to provide a complete, fully integrated system.
