## Summary

Cardiff University is seeking proposals for a complete photoemission spectroscopy system as part of a collaborative project with University College London, funded by EPSRC (Contract No. PR16195). This procurement process, which is currently in the award stage, is focused on developing a facility for X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for a variety of applications, including biomaterials and semiconductor physics. The tender includes three lots: a Multitechnique XPS System, a Fast Throughput XPS System, and both systems combined, with the contract duration specified as one month. The delivery location is at the Research Complex at Harwell in Didcot, UK. Key dates include the award decision communicated on 20 December 2017, with an active budget of £577,000 for the Fast Throughput XPS System.

This tender presents unique opportunities for businesses in the scientific instrumentation and analytical services sectors, particularly those with capabilities in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and related technologies. Companies with extensive experience in developing high-quality spectroscopy systems or providing technical solutions for academic and industrial research would be suitable competitors. The involvement of a central purchasing body like Cardiff University also suggests a focus on quality and compliance, which can further align opportunities for businesses aiming to expand their reach in higher education and research-related fields.

## Notice

The Harwell XPS service is a collaboration between University College London (UCL), and Cardiff University (CU). We have been commissioned by EPSRC (through UKSBS, Contract No. PR16195) to provide a facility in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
