## Summary

Newcastle University is looking to procure a Dynamic Image Particle Size and Shape Analyser and Ancillary Apparatus for Wet and Dry Sample Dispersion. The contract is for the supply, delivery, and installation of the equipment to be housed in the Merz Court Analytical Suite. The procurement stage is currently active, with a tender period ending on 10th March 2023 and a contract period running from 17th March to 28th April 2023.

This tender offers an opportunity for businesses involved in the provision of analysers. Businesses with expertise in supplying laboratory equipment, particularly in the field of particle size analysis, would be well-suited to compete. This tender could be attractive to SMEs due to the suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises.

## Notice

The University has recently been awarded an EPSRC Core Funding and Unmet Demands Equipment grant and wants to purchase a Dynamic Image Analysis Particle Size and Shape Analyser, including Ancillary Apparatus for Wet and Dry Sample Dispersion, Software and PC. This equipment will be housed in the Merz Court Analytical Suite within the School of Engineering, Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering. The objectives of the equipment are summarized as follows: * To be able to measure particle size distributions in samples containing particles ranging from micrometre-scale to millimetre-scale sizes; * To be able to measure particles dispersed in wet and dry mediums (i.e. air/gas-phase). * To be able to carry out measurements in a wide range of aqueous or organic solvent wet mediums. * To be able to obtain morphological information in addition to particle size distribution information. * To be able to carry out full data analysis and calculations on the raw and processed data using the system software, and export results for presentation/further processing using other pieces of software. The scope of this contract is for the supply, delivery and help in installation of the equipment detailed in the ITT to the University, with after-sales support and 12 months warranty and maintenance.
