## Summary

National Museums Scotland is seeking to procure an X-ray unit under an active tender process. The procurement, classified under the goods category with a focus on X-ray devices (CPV Code: 33111000), is based in Edinburgh, Scotland, and is planned to meet specific regulatory requirements for scientific equipment. The tender deadline has been extended to 24 February 2022, allowing suppliers sufficient time to submit their proposals electronically via the Postbox facility. Interested parties must ensure compliance with the UK Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017, as detailed in the attached tender documents.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the production and supply of scientific instrumentation, specifically X-ray technology.

The procurement process complies with an open method, encouraging a diverse range of suppliers, including those outside the UK, to participate and contribute to the rich collection of the National Museums Scotland.

## Notice

National Museums Scotland is seeking to purchase a new X-Ray unit to investigate a wide variety of objects from across the museum collections (archaeological items, art and design artefact, natural sciences specimens, science and technology items). The instrument chosen will be a 'turn-key' system, either a cabinet unit or a flat-pack unit built in the lab with appropriate shielding. All hardware, firmware and software costs must be included in your tender return. In addition to the one-year statutory warranty, options to purchase additional years of preventive maintenance should be included in the total cost. The instrument will be set-up in one of the existing science laboratories at NMCC and will need to meet the UK Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 - Regulation 32(2) and its associated regulatory guidance. The instrument will be used in proximity of 13 amp, 240 volt AC, 50 Hz supply, in a non-air conditioned laboratory. Full details are outlined in the attached tender documents.
