This opportunity falls under the category of goods, specifically focusing on spectroscopy devices, geological and geophysical instruments, and industrial lasers. The tender, which was published on 1st March 2019, has a deadline for submissions by 27th March 2019. The contract is expected to commence on 1st May 2019, with a duration until 30th April 2020, and the total contract value is set at £186,400. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, suitable for above-threshold contracts. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in manufacturing or supplying scientific and technical equipment, especially those specialising in spectroscopy and geological instruments. Companies with expertise in laser technology, particularly large-format laser systems, will be well-positioned to compete. By securing this contract, suppliers can enhance their visibility in the academic and research sectors, facilitating future collaborations and expanding their market reach within the scientific community. ## Notice The Department of Earth Sciences wishes to purchase a 193 nm excimer laser ablation sampling system with large-format, two-volume ablation cell, for chemical characterisation of solid geological, archaeological, environmental and biological materials. Typical research activities will include quantification of trace elements in igneous minerals, melt inclusions and carbonates, which are used to answer fundamental questions related to volcanology and magmatism, and explore historic records of climatic change, respectively. The instrument will be used to analyse complex materials including rocks, minerals, soils, sediments, fossils and archaeological specimens. The instrument and all ancillary items should be fully installed and operational before 31st July 2019 (ideally earlier) and will be housed in the Department of Earth Sciences, Durham University.
