Mass spectrometers are normally equipped with rough pump and molecular turbo pumps to achieve high vacuum conditions, the ionisation, ion transfer and detection of ions (sensitivity) are directly controlled by multiple high voltage power supply units, mass accuracy and resolution of mass spectrometer are also directly affected by temperature control. Any unexpected power outage, sometimes even only last for a split of second, can potentially cause severe damage to the vacuum system. The stability of power supply to advanced mass spectrometers are also essential to achieve expected performance on these instruments. Therefore, uninterrupted power supply systems are critical for the current and future success to our advanced mass spectrometry facility, which in turn will determine our research outcome. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/002472-2024 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Jan 2024 | | Submission deadline | 19 Jun 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 20 Sep 2023 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £96,000 | | Lots value | £96,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £85,888 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF WARWICK | | Locality | COVENTRY | | Post town | Coventry | | Postcode | CV4 7AL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG33 Coventry | | Local authority | Coventry | | Electoral ward | Wainbody | | Westminster constituency | Coventry South | | Delivery location | TLG33 Coventry | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | FOCUS POWER SOLUTIONS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 31154000 - Uninterruptible power supplies - 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ## Release History - 24 Jan 2024 at 16:24 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/002472-2024 - 19 May 2023 at 12:43 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/014340-2023 ## Notice URLs - http://www.in-tendhost.co.uk/universityofwarwick - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/universityofwarwick).The - https://warwick.ac.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
