## Summary

The University of Nottingham has awarded a contract titled "1717- Electron Cameras" for the provision of high-performance electron cameras needed for advanced research within the Nanoscale & Microscale Research Centre. The contract, valued at approximately £1,043,816.40, includes the installation of state-of-the-art equipment on existing transmission electron microscopes. The procurement process was conducted through an open procedure, and the contract period is set to commence on 31st October 2022, extending until 30th October 2026. The relevant delivery address is in Nottinghamshire, East Midlands, UK. The procurement process reached the award stage on 14th April 2022.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in high-tech scientific equipment and instruments, particularly those experienced in advanced microscopy solutions. Companies that can provide innovative user experience and data handling technologies for medical or research purposes would be well-positioned to compete. The rigorous standards set by the University of Nottingham for quality and effective workflow means that only suppliers with strong expertise in electron microscopy will likely succeed in this procurement process.

## Notice

The University requests tenders from sufficiently experienced and qualified Suppliers to establish a contract for the provision of a pair of state-of-the-art, direct detection & high-performance electron cameras (DD-EC & HP-EC), to be installed on two existing transmission electron microscopes (Jeol 2100F and 2100Plus), along with scanning TEM (STEM) diffraction system control, and an associated high-tilt, cryo-transfer holder (HT-CTH), to create a new research capability for correlated morphological & molecular dynamic investigations. Effective workflow is critical for the realisation of the many challenging projects to be enabled by this complementary equipment, to be housed within the Nanoscale & Microscale Research Centre (nmRC; http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/nmrc/) at the University of Nottingham (UoN). Hence, user experience and data-handling solutions for correlative investigations are of high importance. Estimated whole life cost is also an important consideration.
