## Summary

The University of Edinburgh has completed a public procurement process titled "Tuneable Femtosecond Pulsed Laser Hugh Robson" for the acquisition of a tuneable pulsed femtosecond Ti:Sapphire laser, essential for imaging experiments using a multi-photon resonance scanning microscope. The procurement was conducted under the open procedure method and falls within the goods category, specifically related to laser equipment. The contract, awarded to Coherent Inc, was signed on 31st July 2017, with a total value of £105,000. The delivery location for the equipment is the Hugh Robson Building in Edinburgh, where it is expected to contribute to ongoing research and innovation.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in the supply of advanced optical and laser technology. Companies with innovative solutions in the fields of scientific equipment or precision engineering, particularly those with experience in university collaborations or research projects, would be well-positioned to compete in similar tenders. Engaging with institutions like the University of Edinburgh can lead to long-term partnerships and further procurement opportunities, fostering growth and enhancing capabilities within a competitive market.

## Notice

This procurement is for a relatively standard tuneable pulsed femtosecond Ti:Sapphire laser. The laser will be coupled to a custom designed multi-photon resonance scanning microscope for use in imaging experiments. The single light beam generated by the laser will be deflected into the microscope to facilitate rapid multi-photon imaging.
