The procurement is aimed at supplying essential laboratory equipment to UK Higher and Further Education Institutions, NHS Scotland, and other public-sector organisations. The tender period ends on 28 May 2018, with a total estimated contract value of £60 million. The contract covers eight distinct lots, including various types of chromatography and mass spectrometry equipment. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the scientific equipment sector, particularly those specialising in mass spectrometry and chromatography, to secure contracts with public-sector entities. Companies providing related consumables and equipment servicing are also positioned to benefit from this framework agreement. Given the substantial budget and the diverse range of equipment specified, businesses with innovative solutions and comprehensive service offerings would be well-suited to compete for a place on this framework. ## 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. Renewal: 1 year extension if mutually acceptable terms can be met Gas Chromatographs Including, but not limited to: For example, Flameionisation, Electron capture detector and other detectors which are not specifically Mass Spectrometers. Renewal: 1 year extension if mutually acceptable terms can be met 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. Renewal: 1 year extension if mutually acceptable terms can be met Liquid Chromatographs Including, but not limited to: For example, Ultraviolet fluorescence and other detectors which are neither Gas Chromatography or Mass Spectrometry. Renewal: 1 year extension if mutually acceptable terms can be met 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. Renewal: 1 year extension if mutually acceptable terms can be met 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 Renewal: 1 year extension if mutually acceptable terms can be met 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.
