## Summary

The University of Ulster has completed a procurement process aimed at acquiring Liquid Chromatography High Resolution Mass Spectrometry Instrumentation. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically involving mass spectrometers, with an active contract value of £266,392.59. The procurement method used was a selective restricted procedure, which allows for competition among pre-selected suppliers. The contract was signed on 25th January 2021, and the delivery address is specified as Ulster University Coleraine, Cromore Road, Co. Londonderry, BT52 1SA, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in high-resolution mass spectrometry and chromatographic equipment. Companies capable of supplying advanced scientific instrumentation, particularly those that can ensure compatibility with existing systems like Chromatography solutions, would benefit from this procurement. The restricted procedure may encourage well-qualified suppliers to engage, thus creating a competitive landscape that fosters innovation and partnership within the scientific and educational sectors.

## Notice

Liquid Chromatography High Resolution Mass Spectrometry instrumentation. The instrument must be a high-resolution FT bench-top system. With a Quadrupole -Orbitrap configuration delivering high resolution and accurate masses for modes of operation. The mass spectrometer must be capable of real-time data acquisition and data processing, enabling a high spectrum repetition rate. The mass spectrometry must be able to perform rapid switchover between APCI and ESI using quick release connecting retainers, and without breaking vacuum. The mass spectrometer must provide control software for the UltiMate(tm) 3000 RSLCnano System Liquid Chromatography system. This is an essential feature as the instrument must be capable to control our current Liquid chromatography system, as it will be used in combination with the proposed instrumentation.
