## Summary

Queen's University Belfast is seeking suppliers for the "QUB/2065/21 - Supply, Delivery, Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance of a Scanning Spectrofluorimeter". This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically for spectroscopy devices. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the tender period having ended on 21 April 2021. Located in Belfast, Northern Ireland (UKN06), this initiative aims to enhance the capabilities of their School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering with a diverse instrument tailored for various users.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the spectroscopy and scientific equipment sector, particularly those that specialise in advanced laboratory instruments. Given the technical specifications outlined, companies that excel in producing high-quality spectroscopy devices, including those capable of time-resolved and temperature-dependent measurements, will be well-positioned to compete effectively. Additionally, suppliers with solid track records in installation and maintenance services may find this contract particularly relevant, potentially leading to long-term collaboration as maintenance options extend beyond the initial purchase.

## Notice

The School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering wish to purchase a Scanning Spectrofluorimeter. This is intended to be an 'allround' instrument for the School, serving a diverse range of users in the School.The instrument is expected to have the ability to run single solid or liquid samples, as well as multiwell plates (96-well plates). Spectral coverage should range up to 980 nm with wavelength accuracy of at least +/- 1 nm. Ability to measure time-resolved, time-gated and temperature-dependent photo-excitation and emission spectra in the UV-Vis/Near InfraRed region, have the ability to measure excited state lifetime and quantum yield and should have phosphorescence and fluorescence lifetime measurement capabilities.
