This equipment is required by the School of Engineering and other research groups in the Faculty of Science, Agriculture, and Engineering to support teaching and research activities. The contract is funded by the university and involves after-sales support, training, and a 12-month warranty. The procurement stage is currently in the tender period, closing on 30th January 2024, and the contract is expected to start on 1st April 2024, lasting till 18th February 2025. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the industry category is laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. This tender from Newcastle University presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment and installation services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are considered suitable for this procurement opportunity. Businesses interested in supplying and installing high-precision scientific instruments would find this tender well-suited for their expertise. The contract value is £87,000 GBP, and the delivery address is specified for the United Kingdom. Interested parties are encouraged to review the detailed technical specifications provided in the tender documentation to ensure compliance with the requirements set by the university. ## Notice The School of Engineering, as well as other research groups in the Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering, require Simultaneous Thermal Analysis capabilities to support a wide range or teaching and research activities. Both our current TGA and DSC instruments are broken beyond repair and therefore, we are looking to purchase a Simultaneous Thermogravimetric and Differential Thermal Analysis/Scanning Calorimeter Analyser. This will enable us to characterise materials and analyse the thermal behaviour of different samples under controlled temperature and atmospheres. Materials to be studied include but are not limited to adsorbents, biomass, biomaterials, catalysts, ceramics, inorganics chemicals, polymers and resins. Applications include, but are not limited to, study of melting and crystallisation processes, phase and glass transitions, purity determination, heat capacity measurements, kinetic analysis, mass changes, temperature stability, oxidation and reduction behaviours and thermal decomposition. This purchase is being funded by the Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering at Newcastle University. The scope of this contract is for the supply, delivery and installation of the equipment detailed in Section 3.1 Technical Specification to the University, with after-sales support and 12 months warranty and maintenance, all training necessary for safe and reliable operation of the system and a complete set of operating and maintenance documents. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/df2ced03-9fa7-4a7b-bfc6-8ef9c96ffc51 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Jan 2024 | | Submission deadline | 30 Jan 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2024 - 18 Feb 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £87,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY | | Locality | NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE | | Post town | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE1 7RU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC43 Tyneside | | Local authority | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Electoral ward | Monument | | Westminster constituency | Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 51 - Installation services (except software) ### Codes - 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 51430000 - Installation services of laboratory equipment ## Release History - 10 Jan 2024 at 10:33 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/df2ced03-9fa7-4a7b-bfc6-8ef9c96ffc51 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/df2ced03-9fa7-4a7b-bfc6-8ef9c96ffc51 10th January 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Procurer/Advert/View?advertId=5816459b-a1af-ee11-8127-005056b64545 Advertisement link ## Notice URLs - https://www.ncl.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
