This system has a true colour LED light source which already makes the BX53 unique. The light source is a critical part of the microscope and providing high quality images is of paramount importance in diagnosis and evaluation (the colour rendering index will not change during adjustments in intensity, i.e. between low and high magnification). 2. There is a direct benefit of having FN26.5 observation system for viewing tissue sections under the microscope. Standard optical systems have FN22 or FN25 which limits observation field. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=146871 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 Dec 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 17 Dec 2024 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £199,979 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS WALES SHARED SERVICES PARTNERSHIP-PROCUREMENT SERVICES (HOSTED BY VELINDRE UNIVERSITY NHS TRUST) | | Locality | CARMARTHEN | | Post town | Swansea | | Postcode | SA31 3BB | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL4 Mid and South West Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL42 South West Wales | | Local authority | Carmarthenshire | | Electoral ward | Carmarthen Town West | | Westminster constituency | Caerfyrddin | | Delivery location | TLL14 South West Wales | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | EVIDENT EUROPE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38510000 - Microscopes ## Release History - 31 Dec 2024 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=146871 - 18 Dec 2024 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F15 - Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=146871 ## Documents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC496230 9 x Olympus BX53 Consultant Microscopes - Hywel Dda University Local Health Board has approved Capital funding to procure nine Olympus BX53 Consultant Microscopes with super wide FN26.5 Optical System to be delivered by 31st of March 2025. - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC496799 9 x Olympus BX53 Consultant Microscopes - Hywel Dda University Local Health Board has approved Capital funding to procure nine Olympus BX53 Consultant Microscopes with super wide FN26.5 Optical System to be delivered by 31st of March 2025. ## Notice URLs - http://nwssp.nhs.wales/ourservices/procurement-services/ - https://api.sell2wales.gov.wales/v1?lang=cy/Notice?id=ocds-kuma6s-146871 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
