## Summary

The procurement process involves the UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM (THE), which has issued a tender for the purchase of UV Spectrometers for use in undergraduate teaching in the School of Chemistry. This tender falls under the goods category and is classified under the CPV code 38433000, specifically for spectrometers. The tender was awarded on 12 February 2022, with a total value of £25,568, and the delivery is to take place in the East Midlands region of England. The procurement method utilised was a direct single tender action, as the total value is below the set threshold.

This opportunity can lead to significant growth for businesses, particularly those specialising in educational equipment, laboratory instruments, or suppliers of spectrometers. Companies with a focus on providing reliable and compatible scientific equipment, like Perkin Elmer, may find this procurement especially relevant. This tender is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can ensure continuity and maintain standards in educational environments, potentially enhancing their reputation and standing within the public procurement market.

## Notice

We intend to begin replacement of our L25 UV spectrometers within the undergraduate teaching labs. We have 7 existing Perkin Elmer L25 UV spectrometers in total, 6 of which are >14 years old, the 7th is a newer L365 and identical to to the ones we are requesting to purchase. All of the spectrometers use the same software. There is no guarantee when we will be in a position to buy subsequent instruments in the future to complete the full replacement of the suite of UV's, therefore, to ensure continuity for students and demonstrators when working within the laboratory, we would like to buy the UV Spectrometers from Perkin Elmer so there are no discrepancies between software operation and existing written procedures. This would also be beneficial to the technical team to enable easier troubleshooting and maintenance if we have instrumentation with interchangeable parts.
