The tender was initiated on 4th October 2023 and awarded on 20th September 2023. The University is located in Cardiff, UK, and the procurement was made through an open procedure. The equipment is intended for the School of Earth and Environmental, with detailed specifications for its use in analysing isotope composition. The buying organisation can be contacted at procurement@cardiff.ac.uk for further details. This tender for a Thermal Ionisation Mass Spectrometer offers opportunities for suppliers of scientific equipment, especially those specialised in mass spectrometry and laboratory instruments. Businesses wishing to compete should note the precision and technical requirements outlined by Cardiff University. The award of the contract to Thermo Fisher Scientific for a value of £625,000 indicates the potential scale of similar future opportunities. Interested businesses should review the details on the procurement method and the unique specifications of the goods being procured to tailor their bids effectively. ## Notice The School of Earth and Environmental are seeking a Thermal Ionisation Mass Spectrometer (TIMS) specifically equipped with low-noise collectors. The system must also be provided with an outgassing system to clean filaments. The equipment will be located in an existing isotope laboratory with air conditioning. We will use the equipment to analyse the isotope composition of non-gaseous chemical elements (e.g. Nd, Pb) at precision of c. 30-50ppm/amu internal precision (+-2SE) and external reproducibility (+-2SD) while consuming c. 1ng of analyte or less. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The School of Earth and Environmental are seeking a Thermal Ionisation Mass Spectrometer (TIMS) specifically equipped with low-noise collectors.
