This procurement falls under the goods category and is being conducted through an open procedure. The tender period closed on 11 November 2016, while the contract period will commence on 23 December 2016 and continue until 23 December 2017. The delivery location for the items is mainly within the Yorkshire and the Humber region, specifically at the university's address in Leeds (LS2 9JT). This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in scientific instruments, particularly those manufacturing or supplying testing and measurement equipment. Companies that can offer a user-friendly control and data acquisition system for the suggested application, especially those experienced in catering to academic and research environments, would be well-positioned to compete. This could lead to significant growth, as successful bidders may establish long-term relationships with the University of Leeds and potential future repeat business. ## Notice The School of Food Science and Nutrition which is part of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physical Sciences at the University of Leeds, undertakes a diverse range of fundamental scientific principles to addressing issues of food quality with collaborators across the university campus, external institutions and organisations. It is seeking tenders for a drop shape tensiometer to complement the facilities offered within its soft matter research. The control and data acquisition system must be versatile and straightforward to use. The data generated must be exportable in standard formats for analysis using other proprietary software, such as Matlab, LabView or Excel etc. The tensiometer will be primarily used by dedicated academic technical staff, postdoctoral researchers, PhD student and project students. Such a group will possess a range of expertise and so it is important that the system has an intuitive interface and that it is inherently easy to use. The dedicated technical staff and postdocs will require training to a level at which they are able to provide basic instruction to new users (including change of samples, calibration, setting up of new measurement sequences) Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No https://in-tendhost.co.uk/universityofleeds/aspx/ ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bc5c2956-da5c-4a09-bbe8-e99e7e88c604 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Nov 2016 | | Submission deadline | 11 Nov 2016 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 23 Dec 2016 - 23 Dec 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS | | Locality | WEST YORKSHIRE | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS2 9JT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 33123100 - Tensiometer - 38425700 - Surface tension measuring instruments ## Release History - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:17 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bc5c2956-da5c-4a09-bbe8-e99e7e88c604 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bc5c2956-da5c-4a09-bbe8-e99e7e88c604 21st October 2016 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/universityofleeds/aspx/ Additional information on how to apply for this contract ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
