This equipment will be used by the English Heritage Conservation Science team to analyse historic collections across various English Heritage sites. The collected artefacts span wide-ranging periods from prehistoric to modern times, encompassing archaeological finds, fine and decorative arts, and social history. Key dates include the publication date of 26th July 2024 and a tender closing date of 22nd August 2024. The contract is set to commence on 6th September 2024 and conclude by 31st March 2025. The procurement stage is currently at the tender phase, and the process is being conducted via an open procedure (below threshold). The contract value is estimated between £128,000 and £150,000, with the project categorised under CPV codes for lasers, industrial lasers, and spectroscopy devices. This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the manufacturing and supply of precision optical and laboratory equipment, particularly those specialising in Raman spectroscopy systems. SMEs are encouraged to participate, as they have been identified as suitable candidates for this tender. The selected supplier will not only provide the Raman spectrometer but also ensure its installation, training for its use, and maintenance over a potentially extended period. This project is ideal for businesses looking to expand their footprint within heritage conservation and scientific analysis sectors, providing a valuable growth avenue by associating with a prestigious organisation such as English Heritage. ## Notice English Heritage Conservation Science team are seeking to procure Raman spectroscopy. This will supplement existing equipment to analyse historic collections in situ, at English Heritage sites across the country. The English Heritage collection spans from prehistoric to modern materials, with a large archaeological collection and archive, as well as fine and decorative arts, and social history. Analysis of these materials helps identify the materials present and any deterioration products, but also understand the impact of the environmental on the collections. Raman spectroscopy will be used to analyze glass, metal corrosion products, pigments, soluble salts and deposits both in situ and on removed samples in the laboratory. The supplier is expected to supply and install the Raman spectroscopy system, give appropriate training and support, and to be able to maintain the system over a number of years (minimum 5 years for parts). Tendered prices should include equipment purchase price, delivery to English Heritage, installation, training and minimum one year warranty. It should also include, itemized separately, the optional costs of maintenance contracts for the system, for one, two and three year periods after expiry of the warranty.
