## Summary

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited is seeking a supplier for the procurement of a High Resolution Raman Confocal Microscope, classified under the microscopes category. The tender is in the Award stage, with the contract valued at £209,296 and expected to commence on 5 January 2017, lasting until 4 January 2021. The procurement method adopted is an open procedure, and the tender period concluded on 9 December 2016. This procurement is based in the North East region of the United Kingdom.

This contract presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in advanced analytical instruments and scientific equipment, including those focusing on Raman spectroscopy. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be especially suited to compete for this tender, as the Centre for Process Innovation aims to enhance its research capabilities in materials analysis, including graphene and pharmaceuticals.

## Notice

The Graphene Application Innovation Centre at the Centre for Process Innovation has the need to analyse materials (including graphene and other 2D materials, nano-scale material, pharmaceutical, life science and electronic) using Raman spectroscopy to provide key information regarding chemical composition and material structure. The addition of a motorised fully confocal microscope system to the Raman spectrometer will allow for ultra-fast confocal Raman mapping of samples on both a micro and macro scale thus significantly increasing the capability of the centre in this area. Current research areas require the instrument to be capable of the measurement of ultra-low frequency spectral data allowing greater resolution of spectra
