This tender, classified under the CPV code 38000000 for laboratory equipment, is currently at the Tender stage with submission deadlines set for 28 May 2019. The anticipated contract period will commence on 1 July 2019 and conclude on 15 October 2019. The delivery addresses include the UK and other territories, indicating a broad scope for potential suppliers. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in laboratory and analytical equipment, particularly those with experience in industrial laser technology and precision measuring systems. Companies proficient in complex scientific instruments and innovative technologies will be particularly well-suited to bid for this contract, potentially leading to growth in both market presence and revenue as they expand their engagement with higher education institutions. ## Notice The University wishes to purchase a laser ablation - inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (LA-ICP-MS) equipment package, which be used for ultra-low abundance and high-precision trace element and isotopic analysis of solid materials, though both high spatial resolution chemical imaging and point analysis (note that this tender is for the laser ablation system only).
