## Summary

The University of Birmingham is currently seeking tenders for the project titled "SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION OF A 1.8 to 300K CRYOSTAT SYSTEM." This opportunity falls under the laboratory, optical, and precision equipment industry category. The procurement process is at the active tender stage, with submissions due by 12:00 on 5th February 2021. The delivery will take place at the university's Edgbaston campus in the West Midlands, UK, with the contract expected to begin on 11th March 2021 and conclude by 30th November 2021. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the tender described as involving goods that are critical for research applications in condensed matter physics.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in the supply of laboratory equipment, particularly cryostat systems. Companies that can offer innovative technology and are adept at meeting precise temperature specifications would be well-suited to compete. The procurement is open to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), thus encouraging diverse participation while fostering growth in the relevant sectors. Businesses looking to expand their offerings in research and scientific equipment may find this an advantageous venture.

## Notice

The University of Birmingham invites tenders for supply of a variable temperature cryostat system, for carrying out experiments in condensed matter physics. The cryostat should be able to maintain any temperature between 1.8 and 300 K. Extra points will be awarded for guaranteed temperatures below 1.8 K. The cryostat system should contain a superconducting magnet that can apply fields of up to 12 T, of either polarity. There should be a radiation shield between the sample space and the magnet, so that the magnet remains superconducting and able to apply a field of 12 T even when the sample space is held at a temperature of 300 K; this radiation shield is in general the defining feature of a variable temperature system. The tenderer should supply a power supply for this magnet. Further information can be found within the ITT document.
