This tender falls under the goods category within the laboratory, optical, and precision equipment sector. The tender period is set to conclude on 5th May 2017, with the contract expected to commence on 8th May 2017 and run until 1st May 2018. Interested parties should submit their applications through the University’s electronic tendering system by registering before the deadline. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in advanced imaging technology, particularly those involved in the supply of laboratory equipment and software solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as they may offer innovative solutions that meet the project requirements. Those with expertise in high-performance digital cameras and automated imaging systems would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice Cutting edge electron cryo-microscopy requires CMOS-based detectors and state-of-the-art imaging software to enable automated collection of high-quality data at high throughput rates. The camera and software are intended for a 120 kV FEI Tecnai Spirit transmission electron microscope (TEM) with cryo-capability. We will record images and tomographic tilt series of single particle protein samples, as well as more complex heterogeneous samples at both room temperature and under cryo conditions. Due to the side-entry cryo holder fitted to our microscope, a fast read-out camera is required in order to account for specimen/ stage drift. The camera must therefore be bottom-mounted and capable of high frame rates, and has to be able to be retro-fitted to the existing TEM. The camera must also be able to acquire single-particle and tomography data sets in an automated manner with fully integrated software. Additional information: How to apply: Applicants will be required to register their interest for the relevant tender documents on the University of Exeter's electronic tendering 'In-Tend' System (http://in-tendhost.co.uk/universityofexeter/asp/home.asp) The procurement exercise is completely managed via this electronic system and only registering on http://in-tendhost.co.uk/universityofexeter/asp/home.asp will ensure that you receive all the relevant information and follow-up document. Registration is free of charge to potential suppliers. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8dda48aa-fed5-4153-8a23-021662a3c044 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Apr 2017 | | Submission deadline | 5 May 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 7 May 2017 - 1 May 2018 | | 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 EXETER | | Locality | EXETER | | Post town | Exeter | | Postcode | EX4 4PS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK43 Devon CC | | Local authority | Exeter | | Electoral ward | Duryard and St James | | Westminster constituency | Exeter | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ## Release History - 19 Apr 2017 at 11:02 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8dda48aa-fed5-4153-8a23-021662a3c044 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8dda48aa-fed5-4153-8a23-021662a3c044 19th April 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://in-tendhost.co.uk/universityofexeter/asp/home.asp ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
