## Summary

The University of St Andrews is conducting a public procurement process for a "Monochromated X-ray Source for Scienta 200 X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer". This procurement falls under the education sector category and is situated in St Andrews, UK. The procurement method is open, and it was initiated on 7th October 2019, with the tender submission deadline set for 4th November 2019. The purpose of this procurement is to reduce the carbon footprint through the acquisition of a new energy-efficient monochromatic x-ray source, aimed at enhancing the laboratory's operational efficiency.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in scientific equipment, specifically those that can provide energy-efficient goods suitable for high-precision spectroscopy applications. Companies equipped to deliver compatible x-ray sources, particularly those focused on reducing utility costs and enhancing energy efficiency, will find this tender especially relevant. The successful supplier, Scanwel Ltd, has been awarded the contract, indicating a demand for innovative solutions in sustainable laboratory setups.

## Notice

The School of Chemistry is seeking to reduce its carbon footprint through the acquisition of a new monochromatic x-ray source, which will reduce both electrical energy consumption and cooling requirements for our photoelectron spectroscopy setup. Cooling for the arrangement is currently provided via an external chiller, owing to the existing unit's large cooling loads and tight temperature control requirements in the laboratory. In response to this tender, a costed option around the replacement of this iC408 (37kW cooling) external unit with a smaller, compatible, lower power internal unit will also be considered. The purpose of this procurement exercise is to select a fully compatible replacement x-ray source to achieve best return on capital investment in the supply of the goods specified, through reductions in energy consumption and utility costs.
