## Summary

The University of St Andrews has recently completed a procurement process for a Spin and Angle Resolved Photoemission Spectrometer intended for its School of Physics and Astronomy. This tender falls within the education industry category and is based in St Andrews, UK. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the associated contract was awarded to MB Scientific AB, with a total value of approximately £481,500. This procurement process was initiated on 25th October 2018 following a public tender notice published prior to this date, culminating in the contract signing on 30th August 2018.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of advanced scientific equipment and technology, particularly those specialising in precision instrumentation for educational and research purposes. Companies with expertise in developing and providing integrated systems for high-resolution electron spectroscopy and spin-analysis technologies would be particularly well-suited to participate in future tenders from the University of St Andrews and similar institutions. Businesses are encouraged to engage with the university’s e-Tendering system, which facilitates competitive bidding and enhances the visibility of relevant procurement opportunities.

## Notice

The system consists of four main parts: (1) an angle-resolving electron analyser for high-resolution electron spectroscopy, (2) an integrated spin-analysis system for subsequent spin-polarisation analysis, and (3) a fully-functioning and adaptable software suite for performing measurements using the system.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The School of Physics and Astronomy is seeking to enhance its research and teaching activity through the acquisition of a Spin and Angle Resolved Photoemission Spectrometer. The system consists of four main parts: (1) an angle-resolving electron analyser for high-resolution electron spectroscopy, (2) an integrated spin-analysis system for subsequent spin-polarisation analysis, and (3) a fully-functioning and adaptable software suite for performing measurements using the system. The systems should provide a fully-functioning capability for high-resolution spin-resolved ARPES when combined with a suitable vacuum chamber, pumping and sample manipulation (not part of this tender), and should fulfill the requirements detailed.. All tenders for the University of St Andrews are administered through our e-Tendering System (In-Tend).
