## Summary

The University of Leeds has successfully completed a procurement process for the supply of a Field Flow Fractionation (FFF) system, aimed at enhancing research capabilities in the analysis and separation of nanoscale to microscale materials. This procurement, classified under the CPV code for Flow-measuring equipment, was conducted through an open procedure, which concluded on 15 January 2021. The contract, valued at £182,717.12, commenced on 31 March 2021 and is scheduled to end on 31 March 2022. The FFF system is designated for delivery to the Yorkshire and the Humber region in the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in scientific equipment manufacturing, particularly those specialising in high-precision analytical instruments. Companies with strengths in producing adaptable systems for various sample types, such as macromolecules and inorganic nanoparticles, would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. Additionally, suppliers that can offer innovative solutions for inline analysis and downstream workflows may find increased demand in the academic and research sectors, ultimately contributing to their business growth.

## Notice

NOTICE OF AWARD OF a field flow fractionation (FFF) system as a multi-user facility for the separation and analysis of nanoscale to microscale materials. The FFF system needs to be appropriate for use with wide-ranging sample types, including macromolecules, biomolecular assemblies, self-assembled materials such as micelles and vesicles, inorganic nanoparticles. Inline analysis of samples should allow determination of the concentrations and the size and shape of the constituents. It is also required that samples can be collected in distinct fractions for downstream analyses and work flows.
