This tender falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on chromatographs. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 10 February 2021. The contract period is set to commence on 24 March 2021 and extend until 31 March 2021. The total value of the contract is estimated between £50,000 and £100,000, and the purchasing organisation is particularly interested in engaging small or medium enterprises (SMEs) for this opportunity. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the scientific equipment sector, particularly those specialising in lab instruments and water analysis technology. Companies that can provide an integrated ion chromatograph with specific features, such as dual capabilities for anions and cations, and an automatic sampler meeting certain specifications, would be well-suited to participate in this tender. Engaging in this contract could facilitate growth and expand market presence for SMEs capable of delivering these advanced scientific tools to academic institutions. ## Notice Northumbria University require an ion chromatograph and connected pump injection system, to measure ionic concentrations in a variety of natural waters. The ion chromatograph will be used in a geography and environmental science laboratory on a regular basis (daily to weekly). It must be delivered to us within 6 weeks from the date of purchase. We require that the system capable of running 2mm and 4um columns - and these must be included in the system quotation. The system must be able to run both suppressed anions and suppressed cations from one instrument, allowing the option to switch between these chemistries as needed. Electrolytic eluent generation must be offered integrated into the system. Eluent generation must allow the ability to change concentration throughout a run. Please quote hydroxide compatible columns and suppressors. We also require an integrated autosampler that allows individual filtration of sample at least a 20 microns, facilitating the removal of particulates during sample loading automatically. The autosampler must have sample overlap capabilities to start sample preparation while the instrument is acquiring data Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e14730a9-167b-46da-8326-da8822874379 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Feb 2021 | | Submission deadline | 10 Feb 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 24 Mar 2021 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | 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 | NORTHUMBRIA UNIVERSITY | | Locality | NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE | | Post town | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE1 8ST | | 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 | TLC North East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38432200 - Chromatographs ## Release History - 3 Feb 2021 at 14:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e14730a9-167b-46da-8326-da8822874379 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e14730a9-167b-46da-8326-da8822874379 3rd February 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Newcastle-Upon-Tyne:-T20-0029-Ion-Chromatograph/9772XUR23Q Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
