## Summary

The University of Leeds is conducting an open tender for a "3D Tomography System" aimed at enhancing the capabilities of its School of Civil Engineering. This procurement falls within the 'works' category, and the tender period is open until 24th August 2017. The selected instrument will support research on various infrastructure materials and will be housed within a National Centre for Infrastructure Materials, contributing to the UK Collaboration for Research in Infrastructure and Cities (UKCRIC). The delivery location for this procurement is in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom, and the contract is expected to commence on 1st December 2017, continuing until 30th November 2022.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in scientific instrumentation, particularly those focused on scanning technologies. Companies with expertise in developing Micro X-ray Computed Tomography systems or similar technologies would find this procurement particularly relevant. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as this tender may allow for competitive advantages in servicing academic and research institutions. Engaging in such contracts can provide robust growth opportunities, especially in the fields of materials science and civil engineering.

## Notice

The School of Civil Engineering at the University of Leeds is seeking tenders for Micro X-ray Computed Tomography (uXCT) capabilities, with the option to view large samples, and with the possibility of controlling the sample environment (be that temperature, load, gaseous environment, or similar). These capabilities may be met through more than one instrument, if necessary, but single instruments would be preferred. The new instrument will be a facility within a National Centre for Infrastructure Materials funded as part of UKCRIC (UK Collaboratorium for Research in Infrastructure and Cities). This National Centre will be a focus for research on the deterioration of infrastructure materials (cement, concrete, metals, masonry, timber, glass and soils) and will build on the University of Leeds' reputation for work on cement and concrete.
