## Summary

The Victoria and Albert Museum is currently in the tender stage of procurement for a 320 kV X-radiography tube, essential for the investigation of varied objects from their collections. This procurement falls within the goods category and is classified under X-ray devices (CPV code: 33111000). Located in London, the tender period closes on 27 November 2020, with a total contract value estimated between £50,000 and £100,000. The successful supplier will also need to provide a one-year warranty and four additional years of preventative maintenance as part of their offer.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses in the medical and laboratory equipment sector, particularly those specialising in X-ray technology and related maintenance services. Companies with the capability to deliver a complete ‘turn-key’ solution that meets the V&A's specific requirements would find this tender particularly suited to their offerings. With the museum's stringent technical specifications and the concurrent tender processes for related items, businesses have a valuable opportunity to engage with a prestigious institution and grow within the public procurement landscape.

## Notice

The V&A wishes to procure a 320 kV X-radiography tube for the Science Section, for the investigation of a wide variety of objects from across the museum collections. The instrument chosen will be a 'turn-key' system and all hardware, firmware and software costs must be included in your tender return. In addition a one-year statutory warranty plus an additional four years of preventive maintenance should be included in the total cost. The instrument will be used in proximity of 13 amp, 240 volt AC, 50 Hz supply, in a non-air conditioned, lead-lined X-ray room (lead minimum thickness 15 mm, lead thickness in target wall 35 mm). Tenders may provide options or alternative quotes. Please note that the budget is not confirmed and the award of contract is subject to the V&A receiving the AHRC CapCo funding. Separate tenders for a computed radiography system and x-ray room doors are being run concurrently
