The tender was published on 3rd October 2017, and submissions must be made by the deadline of 13th October 2017. This open procurement process is part of a funding initiative supported by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), with delivery addresses including various locations across the United Kingdom and beyond. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in laboratory and analytical equipment, particularly those experienced in providing X-ray microanalysers and related technologies. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as they are well-suited to compete for this contract given its emphasis on innovative solutions in the research and development sector. Companies capable of meeting the technical specifications outlined by the University of Manchester should consider this opportunity to expand their market reach and foster growth through collaboration in cutting-edge research. ## Notice The system will be used to analyse the composition and purity of polymers, metals, composites and carbon-based materials including polyaramids, PEEK, carbon fibre, graphite, nanotubes and graphene; it will also be used to find possible impurities in CVD grown materials and membranes. This system will be used for both academic and industrial application for the purposes of R&D and quality control.
