## Summary

Durham University has completed a procurement process titled "Thermal Analysis Upgrade" within the scientific equipment industry. This procurement, classified under CPV codes for spectroscopy devices and scientific installations, was conducted using an open procedure below threshold. The tender period concluded on 9 January 2019, and the contract duration spans from 12 February 2019 to 30 March 2020. The total contract value amounts to £141,794.49, with delivery addresses located in the North East region of England.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in advanced scientific instrumentation, particularly those offering thermal analysis equipment such as Simultaneous Thermal Analysers and TGA/FTIR/GC-MS systems. Companies that excel in research and development or manufacturing of similar products, as well as those providing related services, would be particularly well-suited to compete in future tenders initiated by Durham University or similar institutions looking to enhance their scientific capabilities.

## Notice

The Chemistry Department has a suite of thermal analysis equipment which is run as a service for both departmental and external users. Services include Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Thermal Gravimetric Analysis with Mass Spectroscopy (TGA-MS) In order to meet the increasingly diverse needs of Chemistry and related departments, we wish to purchase both a Simultaneous Thermal Analyser (STA) which combines DSC and TGA and can run to high temperatures, and a TGA/FTIR/GC-MS system to provide chemical 'fingerprinting' of volatiles and breakdown products.
