This contract, referenced as PROCJG/RG ITT1191, falls under the industry category of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. The procurement method being employed is an open procedure, which is above the threshold amount with a total contract value of £3,200,000. The tender period closes on 6th March 2020, and the contract is expected to begin on 1st May 2020, lasting until 30th April 2024. The primary delivery location is in Nottingham, UK, specifically at the postal code NG7 2RN. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the manufacturing and maintenance of high-tech laboratory equipment, particularly for those skilled in ultra-high vacuum techniques and molecular beam epitaxy. Companies that specialise in semiconductor technologies, as well as those providing advanced analytical instrumentation and installation services, would be well-positioned to compete. With a substantial contract value, suppliers capable of delivering high-quality, bespoke solutions are encouraged to engage with this procurement process to expand their market presence and capabilities. ## Notice Supply, installation and maintenance of a EPI2SEM is a bespoke ultra-high vacuum (UHV) cluster with 3 chambers for growth by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), in-situ analysis by electron spectroscopy (NanoESCA) and scanning probe microscopy (SPM) of semiconductors based on III-VI compounds. Installation and commissioning of the equipment to be completed and invoiced by 01/05/2021.
