## Summary

The University of Nottingham is conducting a procurement process for a mechanical stage, intended to be used with a microscope and lighting system, under the category of Electrical machinery and equipment. The total value of the contract is £28,500, and the tender period ended on 1st March 2022. The contract was awarded on 2nd March 2022, with the award notice published on 27th June 2022. This procurement was executed through a direct method as a single tender action below the threshold, with delivery required in the East Midlands area of the United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in electronic and precision equipment. Businesses that manufacture compatible mechanical stages or provide customisation and operational support services for laboratory equipment would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this contract could facilitate growth for suppliers in the scientific equipment sector, especially those positioned to meet specific compatibility needs swiftly.

## Notice

The mechanical stage will be coupled with a microscope and a lightning system which need to be a specific distance from the sample. The mechanical stage we planned to get has already been validated with the microscope and lightning system. However, several stages might have a compatibility issue and we do not have time resources to acquire different demo stages and try the setup.
