## Summary

Durham University, located in Durham, England, is seeking to enhance its research capabilities by procuring Combination X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) equipment, classified under the CPV code for spectrometers. This open tender, titled "XRF and XRD Equipment," was awarded to PANalytical Ltd on 2nd June 2017, following an end date for tenders on 23rd March 2017. The contract, valued at £354,995, is set to commence on 14th June 2017 and conclude by 30th September 2018.

This procurement presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialised in scientific equipment manufacturing and supply, particularly those focused on spectrometry and analytical instruments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find themselves well-positioned to compete, given the nature of the goods required and the open procurement method employed. With Durham University being a notable institution in teaching and research, suppliers can capture future opportunities for collaboration and supply within the academic sector.

## Notice

Durham is a thriving centre for teaching and research in Geography and Archaeology. We have significant research activity in inorganic rocks, sediments, and archaeological materials. To underpin this work we require equipment to quickly and cheaply produce quantitative bulk chemical and bulk mineralogical data on a number of materials. The University are therefore looking to purchase a Combination X-ray Florescence (XRF) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) Spectrometer and Bench-top X-ray Diffraction (XRD) Spectrometer.
