## Summary

The University of East Anglia has completed a procurement process for acquiring a UV-visible/near IR circular dichroism (CD) spectrophotometer capable of accommodating a solid state magnet for magnetic CD measurements. This tender, which falls under the industry category of 'Mass spectrometer' (CPV 38433100), commenced with a single direct tender action and attracted funding through an EPSRC Core Equipment grant scheme. The procurement aimed to replace the university's end-of-life spectrometers. The tender period ended on 10 January 2025, and the contract period runs from 11 January 2025 to 30 June 2026. The contracting authority signed an award with the supplier, JASCO, on 17 January 2025.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses skilled in the development and supply of advanced scientific instrumentation, particularly those with a focus on spectrometers. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in high-precision and technologically sophisticated laboratory equipment would be well-suited to compete in such procurement processes. This contract underscores the importance of innovation and specialised functionality, offering potential avenues for similar future projects in the academic and research sectors.

## Notice

A UV-visible/near IR circular dichroism (CD) spectrophotometer that can also accommodate a solid state magnet for magnetic CD measurements is required to replace existing heavily used end-of-life separate UV-visible and near-IR CD instruments. Funds awarded through an EPSRC Core Equipment grant scheme. A single action tender has been undertaken.
