## Summary

The National Gallery, located in London, is currently conducting an open tender for the supply, installation, and maintenance of a computed X-radiography system, specifically designed for transmission X-radiography of Old Master paintings. The procurement process commenced with the publication of the opportunity on 27th November 2020 and is set to conclude on 9th December 2020. The total contract value is estimated at £200,000, with the contract period starting on 10th December 2020 and lasting until 31st March 2021. This tender falls under the goods category, specifically X-ray devices, and aims to replace the existing film-based X-ray system at the Gallery.

This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in medical or scientific equipment, particularly those with expertise in X-ray devices. Companies that offer innovative solutions and adaptable systems suitable for handling large, delicate artworks would be well-positioned to compete. The scope for growth is significant, as the requirement for such specialised equipment is crucial for the National Gallery's ongoing interdisciplinary scientific and art historical research.

## Notice

The National Gallery will be seeking to procure a computed X-radiography system for transmission X-radiography of Old Master paintings, to advance their interdisciplinary scientific and art historical research. An adaptable system is required to work with paintings of a variety of sizes with dimensions ranging from a few tens of centimetres to several metres and weighing up to 300 kg. The new computed X-radiography system will replace the existing film-based X-ray "Art table" system currently used for X-raying painting at the Gallery and will be housed in the existing studio area.
