## Summary

The University of Leeds is currently conducting a tender for the procurement of a fully integrated Ultra High Vacuum, Low temperature Scanning Tunnelling Microscope/Atomic Force Microscope, classified under the microscopes industry category (CPV code: 38510000). This procurement process, which is at the tender stage, was published on 25th January 2018, with a submission deadline set for 22nd February 2018. The delivery addresses for this contract are located in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. The procurement method employed is selective, under a negotiated procedure.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in high-tech scientific equipment, particularly those with capabilities in manufacturing or supplying advanced microscope systems and related technology. Companies that can provide a complete integrated solution or individual components capable of forming a cohesive system may be well-suited to compete. Additionally, firms that can offer excellent service and support, particularly in relation to equipment from multiple manufacturers, will find this procurement an ideal opportunity for business growth.

## Notice

The University of Leeds is seeking tenders for a fully integrated Ultra High Vacuum, Low temperature, combined Scanning Tunnelling Microscope/Atomic Force Microscope and integrated Ultra High Vacuum preparation facilities, for the investigation of molecular and atomic scale physics on metallic, semiconducting, and insulating substrates. We seek responses for a complete, fully combined system, however it is recognised that a successful partnering arrangement can provide the required individual components as an integrated package. Preferably, the tender should be from a single vendor, although we may expect that service and support will be from the original manufacturer if the solution includes parts from multiple manufacturers. For this reason the tender is split into two parts, covering the physical instrument, and the control electronics/software interface for said instrument.
