This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically regarding scanning probe microscopes. The tender period will conclude on 21st October 2021, with the contract expected to commence on 9th November 2021 and run until 31st May 2022. The proposal requires the system to be compatible with argon/nitrogen-filled glovebox environments and is critical for advancements in molecular and 2D-material devices. This contract presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in advanced laboratory equipment, particularly those with experience in nanotechnology and precision instruments. Companies focused on innovative scientific solutions, such as providers of thermal lithography systems and automated nanoscale fabrication tools, would be well-positioned to compete. Engaging with this tender could foster significant growth by establishing partnerships with a reputable educational institution while contributing to cutting-edge research and development projects. ## Notice Ultra-High Resolution Scanning thermal probe nanolithography with hybrid micro-nanolithography & 3D lithography capabilities. The AFM/thermal lithography system will enable patterning physical and chemical features with the nanoscale resolution, which is decisive for molecular devices and 2D-material devices. In addition, the integration of AFM, laser writing and thermal imaging has the potential for the development of new experimental techniques on correlation aspects of scanning based nanoscopy. The proposed platform must be fully compatible with argon/nitrogen-filled glovebox to enable operation in an inert environment. The proposed platform must include AFM-based thermal lithography system equipped with grey scale patterning.
