The tender is currently in the active stage, with the tender period having ended on 25th October 2019. The anticipated contract period will commence on 7th November 2019 and conclude on 1st June 2021. This procurement will involve an open procedure, allowing for a broad range of submissions, with a total value estimated at £100,000 and a minimum threshold of £50,000 for bid submissions. Deliveries are expected to accommodate locations across the United Kingdom and other territories. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) to engage in the supply of specialised laboratory equipment. Companies involved in manufacturing precision optical components or related laboratory technology would be particularly suited to compete for this contract. By participating in this procurement, businesses can not only expand their client base but also enhance their experience in the field of scientific instrumentation and research support, thus fostering substantial business growth. ## Notice Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses). SURF is a neutron reflectometer with horizontal sample geometry. It is mostly used for the study of liquid and solid/liquid interfaces. The incident beam is sloping down at an angle of 1.5deg below the horizontal to allow scattering from liquid interfaces. A non-polarizing super mirror is used to deflect the beam up in order to access angles lower than 1.5deg on liquid surfaces. The requirement is to supply a horizontally focusing elliptical neutron guide split into 3 sections: MG1, MG2 and MG3. All guide sections include an m=6 super mirror coating of the inner left and right faces. The middle section also includes an m=6 super mirror coating of the inner lower face. All the remaining inner faces are either neutron absorbing (1-17 A) or have a null-reflective coating.
