This initiative aims to create a world-leading centre for lab X-ray CT, primarily located in Manchester with multiple collaborating universities. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 12:00 PM on 12th November 2020. This tender falls under the 'goods' category, specifically classified as laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, and is being pursued through an open procedure, which indicates that any qualified supplier can participate. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the development or supply of laboratory equipment, particularly those specialising in X-ray devices or related measurement instruments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, as the project aims to enhance capabilities beneficial to both academic and industrial users. Suppliers that can provide advanced technology and support services in X-ray CT will find this a prime opportunity for partnership and growth within the expanding field of research infrastructure. ## Notice This project will create a UK National Research Facility (NRF) that will be accessible to both academics and industrial users with Manchester as the hub along with a number of spokes. Our research group the National Research Facility in Lab XCT which constitutes The University of Manchester, The University of Warwick, University College London (UCL) and the University of Southampton wish to enhance the capabilities of their Facilities. It is our intention to make the NRF the World leading centre for lab X-ray CT. We are focused on providing our users access they need to the expertise, support and data analysis tools they need to exploit X-ray CT for their own research and understanding. Through this equipment our ambition is to also provide cutting-edge capabilities for the acquisition of unique datasets.
