The procurement falls under the category of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. Bids must be submitted by 14:00 GMT on 28th January 2021, with the contract period set to commence on 5th February 2021 and concluding on 31st March 2021. Delivery will take place in Newcastle, England, specifically at the Herschel-Annex building-based laboratory, which is currently undergoing renovation. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply and installation of advanced laboratory equipment, particularly in the fields of cryogenics and magnetic measurement technologies. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the tender is suitable for them. Companies that can provide after-sales support and warranty maintenance for high-tech equipment would be particularly well-positioned to compete effectively for this contract. ## Notice The University has secured UKRI funding to purchase a transport system that is capable of electrically measuring nano-scale devices as a function of temperature and magnetic field. This system will consist of a closed-cycle refrigerator cryostat and a variable magnetic field platform. The system will be housed in the Herschel-Annex building-based laboratory, which is currently being renovated. The objectives of the equipment are summarized as follows: * To be able to measure devices non-stop from 5 K to 325 K under high vacuum (< 1x10-6 mbar) * To be able to apply external magnetic field through an electromagnet. This double-tuned adjustable air gap system will be integrated on a rotating platform that will enable us applying direction-dependent magnetic field. The scope of this contract is for the supply, delivery and help in installation of the equipment as detailed in the ITT to the University, with after-sales support and 12 months warranty and maintenance.
