## Summary

The University of Birmingham is currently engaged in a procurement process for the supply and installation of advanced X-ray analytical equipment, specifically a diffraction system for characterising multiple materials. This tender, designated as SC5354/17, was published on 23rd January 2017 and is classified under the category of laboratory, optical and precision equipment. The deadline for submitting tender responses is 31st January 2017, with the contract period expected to start on 10th March 2017 and concluding on 31st May 2017. The delivery addresses encompass locations within the United Kingdom as well as British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and Europe.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the manufacturing and scientific equipment sectors, particularly those specialising in precision engineering and analytical devices. Companies capable of supplying advanced X-ray systems with features such as temperature control, pressure functionality, and high-performance computing capabilities would be well-suited to compete. The University of Birmingham's requirement for multiple X-ray emitters and the ability to analyse various sample types suggests the ideal candidates would have experience in this niche of scientific equipment production.

## Notice

SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION OF ADVANCED X-RAY ANALYTICAL EQUIPMENT (DIFFRACTION) SYSTEM FOR CHARACTERISING MULTIPLE MATERIALS The University of Birmingham invites tenders for supply of an X-Ray analysis facility. The device will be used for measuring X-Ray diffraction of variable sample types and geometries (XRD). The system must be able to operate under a variety of parameters including high and low temperatures, varying pressures and multiple material types and sizes. Systems supplied must have some degree of temperature control and function, pressure control would also be ideal. They must be able to analyse a variety of sample types including solid, liquid and powder. They should also come with high performance computing capabilities and be able to hold and process large amounts of stored data files. Multiple X-Ray emitters and detectors would be advantageous as well as capabilities to measure multiple samples in succession. Tender response must include all up to date software versions of instrument including supportive care packages for users. Additional information: All main correspondence should go via the University's In-Tend website. Your tender documents and information must be submitted via In-Tend by the date and time specified; www.in-tendhost.com/universityofbirmingham. Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
