This procurement falls under the education sector and is located in Stirling, UK. Currently in the planning stage, a future notice is expected on or after 4 April 2018, with an overall contract value of £60,000,000. The tender aims to secure various types of laboratory equipment required by UK Higher and Further Education Institutions, NHS Scotland, and other public-sector organisations, with specific lots dedicated to different equipment types, including mass spectrometers and chromatography systems. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses operating in the scientific instruments sector, particularly those specialising in mass spectrometry and chromatography technologies. Companies that manufacture or supply laboratory equipment, consumables, and servicing solutions could find this framework particularly beneficial. Moreover, businesses with capabilities in providing innovative technologies or comprehensive maintenance services will also be well-suited to compete in this substantial procurement opportunity. ## Notice The Authority is seeking Contractor(s) for the supply of mass spectrometry and chromatography equipment required for the efficient functioning of laboratories in UK Higher and Further Education Institutions, NHS Scotland and other Scottish Public-Sector Organisations. Products are divided into eight separate lots; mass spectrometry, gas chromatography, gas chromatography with mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography, liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry, forthcoming systems and modular/ combined systems, accessories and consumables and equipment servicing. ### Lot Information Mass Spectrometry Including, but not limited to stand alone mass spectrometers (MS); inductively-coupled mass spectrometers (ICP-MS); capillary electrophoresis mass spectrometers (CE-MS); and other interfaces which are neither solely gas chromatography nor liquid chromatography. Gas Chromatographs Including, but not limited to: For example, Flameionisation, Electron capture detector and other detectors which are not specifically Mass Spectrometers. Gas Chromatographs with Mass Spectrometers Including, but not limited to: For example, Time of Flight (ToF); Quadropole (QMS) and other Gas Chromatography/ Mass Spectrometry equipment. Liquid Chromatographs Including, but not limited to: For example, Ultraviolet fluorescence and other detectors which are neither Gas Chromatography or Mass Spectrometry. Liquid Chromatographs coupled with Mass Spectrometers Including, but not limited to: Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionisation (MALDI), ION trap and other Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry equipment. Forthcoming Systems and Modular/Combined Systems Any forthcoming technology which falls under the heading of Mass Spectrometry or Chromatography falls into this lot; as do any systems/interfaces/detectors made from a combination not mentioned in any of the other lots Related Consumables and Accessories Any consumables or accessories which are specific to any of the equipment featured in any of the other lots in this Framework Agreement. Equipment Servicing Comprehensive or preventative maintenance of standard equipment out with the agreed warranty period. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB311821 | | Notice type | OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Feb 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 4 Apr 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £60,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | APUC LIMITED | | Locality | STIRLING | | Post town | Falkirk and Stirling | | Postcode | FK8 2DZ | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM0 Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM02 Perth and Kinross, and Stirling | | Local authority | Stirling | | Electoral ward | Stirling East | | Westminster constituency | Stirling and Strathallan | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38432200 - Chromatographs - 38432210 - Gas chromatographs - 38433100 - Mass spectrometer - 38522000 - Chromatographic scanners ## Release History - 27 Feb 2018 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB311821 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB311821 LAB1016AP Framework Agreement for the supply of Mass Spectrometry and Chromatography equipment - The Authority is seeking Contractor(s) for the supply of mass spectrometry and chromatography equipment required for the efficient functioning of laboratories in UK Higher and Further Education Institutions, NHS Scotland and other Scottish Public-Sector Organisations.
