This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on spectrometers. The closing date for submissions is set for 24th May 2017, with the contract anticipated to commence on 7th June 2017 and concluding on 6th June 2018. The location for delivery is Southampton, Hampshire, SO17 1BJ, United Kingdom. The estimated contract value is £90,000, with a minimum bid threshold of £80,000, as this tender is conducted via an open procedure. This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialised in scientific instrumentation and analytical equipment. Companies that manufacture or supply high-quality spectrometers, particularly those with a focus on chiral molecular analysis, would be ideally positioned to participate in this bidding process. Additionally, suppliers that can provide user-friendly, sensitive, and reliable equipment, potentially with upgrade options to accommodate diverse research needs, should consider this tender as a valuable avenue for growth within the academic and research sectors. ## Notice The University of Southampton are tendering for a Circular Dichroism (CD) spectrometer to be placed within a multi-user environment in the School of Chemistry. The primary function of the instrument will be the analysis of chiral interlocked molecules and their response to small chiral analytes as part of a European Research Council Consolidator Grant awarded to Dr Stephen Goldup. Capacity permitting during the ERC CoG award, and once the period of the grant has ended, the instrument will also be made available to other researchers in Chemistry and the wider University whose interests include protein secondary and tertiary conformation studies, protein folding studies, nucleic acid interactions, characterization of chemistry products and evaluation of binding and conformation of proteins, peptides and nucleic acids. The University of Southampton is a large and multidisciplinary institution. Due to the breadth of anticipated applications over the lifetime of the instrument, and the multi-user environment we require a user-friendly, sensitive, accurate, reliable and flexible CD spectrometer, with the possibility to upgrade and expand functionality in the future.
