This tender falls under the goods category and retains a total value of £300,000. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, with the tender period culminating on 18th June 2021 at 14:00 BST. Deliveries are expected in Newcastle, England, with the contract period scheduled to begin on 20th July 2021 and conclude on 31st October 2021. This opportunity presents significant growth potential for SMEs specialising in laboratory and precision equipment, particularly those involved in advanced 3D printing technologies. Suppliers capable of providing delivery, installation support, as well as after-sales maintenance services, will find this contract aligns well with their offerings. Businesses engaged in the manufacture and supply of high-tech laboratory equipment are encouraged to consider submitting their tenders to leverage this opportunity. ## Notice The Physics department at Newcastle University have been honoured with an endowment from the estate of Lady Bertha Jeffreys Bequest, which also included funds from the estate of her late husband, Sir Harold Jeffreys. Bertha Swirles, Lady Jeffreys, (1903-1999) was an early pioneer in quantum and atomic physics. She made fundamental studies of electron interactions and helped develop the 'self-consistent field method' used widely today. The University has decided that the best way to invest the endowment and support the Jeffrey's legacy is to enhance our nano-lithography capability with 3D nano-scale printing capability. The scope of this contract is for the supply, delivery and help in installation of the equipment as detailed in the ITT to the University, with after-sales support and 12 months warranty and maintenance.
