## Summary

Newcastle University has completed a tender process for the supply and installation of an upgraded spinning disk imaging system, with the final contract awarded on 29 June 2022. This procurement, classified under the microscopes industry category, has a total contract value of £75,350. The contract period runs from 30 June 2022 to 29 June 2023, following a tender period which concluded on 28 April 2022. The procurement was conducted as part of a further competition from Lot 2 of The APUC Supply of Microscopes and Imaging Equipment.

This opportunity allows businesses specialising in high-precision scientific equipment, particularly those focusing on imaging technology, to engage with a well-regarded educational institution. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to compete due to the nature of the contract, which includes delivery, installation, and ongoing maintenance of the imaging system. Companies with experience in similar high-tech instrumentation, particularly those able to meet the specified requirements for warranty and after-sales service, would be well-positioned to benefit from this tender.

## Notice

Newcastle University requires a high specific spinning disk confocal microscope with a microlens disk capable of detecting very low intensity probes at super-fast imaging speeds in confocal mode whilst minimising photobleaching. The system will be built around an existing microscope (Leica DMRBE), adapted for live imaging of C. elegans embryos. This tender process is a further competition from Lot 2 of The APUC Supply of Microscopes and Imaging Equipment (LAB1015AP). The scope of the contract is for the delivery, installation and commissioning of all the parts required to upgrade our current microscope with the specifications indicated in section 3. A minimum of 12 months warranty, options for servicing and maintenance and after sales service is required. The warranty, maintenance and servicing shall begin following commissioning of the system.
