This tender falls under the industry category of electron microscopes, with a total estimated value of £336,000. The tender period is currently active and will close on 23rd October 2018. The contract is expected to commence on 1st November 2018 and will continue for five years, concluding on 31st October 2023. The procurement method used is an open procedure, which is suitable for a range of suppliers. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in scientific equipment and engineering services, particularly those that manufacture or supply electron microscopes and related technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the scale of the project and the potential for ongoing service provision at Public Health England sites. Businesses with expertise in clinical diagnostics, biomedical research, and environmental sample examination would be particularly well-positioned to compete in this tender process. ## Notice PHE seeks to procure a new Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) capable of examining biological and non-biological samples with energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy capability. This would provide for a continuation of the PHE SEM service at Porton and at Science hub Harlow in the future. The scanning electron microscope must be of the field emission gun type and be suitable for a wide range of applications e.g. clinical diagnostic investigations, biomedical research (bacteriology, virology, mycology, cell biology, parasitology, and entomology) and examination of environmental samples. The removal and disposal of the existing SEM are tendered as an desirable requirement.
