## Summary

The Natural History Museum in London has completed a procurement process for Digital Microscopy Systems classified under the CPV code 38518000. The tender, titled "Digital Microscopy Systems," had a value of £285,899.16 and an open procurement method. The contract period for this award extends from 27th March 2023 to 30th April 2023, with the tender closing on 24th March 2023. This opportunity falls under the main procurement category of goods.

Businesses in the field of wide field, stereo, or dissecting light microscopes are well-suited to compete for the contract awarded by the Natural History Museum. This opportunity, catering to SMEs, was won by JYFEL Corporation SARL. The contract period presents a potential for growth for businesses dealing in digital imaging equipment, especially those focussing on unique microscopy applications such as 3D data acquisition and imaging of large, complex specimens.

## Notice

Four digital microscopy systems are to enhance existing equipment for digital imaging, particularly for applications that do not lend themselves well to either traditional microscopy or macrophotography approaches. These include large, complex samples requiring microscopy to be carried out on awkward shaped or large specimens (for example fossils, large osteological specimens); specimens where an arm-mounted microscopy system might be useful (for example in the Conservation Centre, Libraries and Archives); and specimens where this will offer a solution for basic 3D data acquisition.
