## Summary

The procurement process involves Newcastle University, which has awarded a contract for the supply of a Low Temperature Cryostat System Integrated with an Electromagnet Field Control Platform. This procurement falls under the laboratory equipment industry category, and the contract is valued at £90,000. The procurement stage has reached the award phase, with the contract period set to commence on 26 March 2021 and conclude on 30 July 2021. The tender for this procurement closed on 28 February 2021.

This opportunity presents a significant avenue for growth, particularly for businesses that specialise in laboratory and precision equipment, as well as those that can offer after-sales support and maintenance services. Suppliers that possess expertise in delivering high-tech systems capable of operating under specific physical conditions, such as low temperatures and in the presence of magnetic fields, would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar future tenders.

## Notice

The University has secured UKRI funding to purchase a transport system that is capable of electrically measuring nano-scale devices as a function of temperature and magnetic field. This system will consist of a closed-cycle refrigerator cryostat and a variable magnetic field platform. The system will be housed in the Herschel-Annex building-based laboratory, which is currently being renovated. The objectives of the equipment are summarized as follows: * To be able to measure devices non-stop from 5 K to 325 K under high vacuum (< 1x10-6 mbar) * To be able to apply external magnetic field through an electromagnet. This double-tuned adjustable air gap system will be integrated on a rotating platform that will enable us applying direction-dependent magnetic field. The scope of this contract is for the supply, delivery and help in installation of the equipment as detailed in the ITT to the University, with after-sales support and 12 months warranty and maintenance.
