This tender falls under the goods category and specifically focuses on the education sector. Key details include a deadline for expressing interest by 29 November 2019, with further communications expected after 2 December 2019. The purchasing process is initiated through a planned procurement notice, and the purchasing organisation is governed by public law, reflecting its commitment to transparency and fairness in public procurement. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in medical technology and equipment, particularly those with expertise in optical coherence tomography systems. Companies that manufacture or supply advanced imaging systems, offer integrated software solutions, or provide training and commissioning services for such technologies will find this opportunity suitable. Engaging with this tender may lead to fruitful partnerships with a leading educational institution, enhancing market presence and business growth in the healthcare technology sector. ## Notice A state-of-the art optical coherence tomography system is required at the Centre for Continuous Manufacturing and Crystallisation (CMAC) in Glasgow. The instrument is required to conduct measurement on a range of different pharmaceutical materials, with the ability for high throughput, and the inclusion of integrated software for analysing the data. ### Lot Information Lot 1 An optical coherence tomography (OCT) system with the capability of using it in a 1D, 2D and 3D mode. The core requirements of the instrument are detailed below: > Centre wavelength: 850 - 1000 nm > Axial resolution: < 5 um > A-scan rate: > 150 kHz > Sensitivity (at 5 kHz acquisition rate): 90 dB > 3D scanner with lateral resolution of < 10 um > Exchangeable scan lenses to change the focal length (e.g. from ~20 mm to ~50 mm) > 12 month warranty that includes any software updates, with optional extensions for years two and three > Commissioning and training on-site > Integrated software: - Scan position control (lateral size of scan). - Access to raw data (spectra) and processed data (A-scans). - Acquisition control including scan averaging and scan speed. - Visualisation of raw data (e.g. spectrum), A-scans (1D) and B-scans (2D) in real-time. - 3D visualisation of data including rendered volumes and sectional views. - Continuous acquisition of A-scans for process monitoring. - Exporting of data.. Potential bidders are asked to note their interest against this PIN by COB 29/11/19, at which point further details regarding the pre-tender market engagement will be released. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV372601 | | Notice type | OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | 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 | 19 Nov 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 2 Dec 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | UNIVERSITY OF STRATHCLYDE | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G1 1QE | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North East | | Delivery location | TLM82 Glasgow City | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ## Release History - 19 Nov 2019 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV372601 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV372601 Provision of Optical Coherence Tomography System - A state-of-the art optical coherence tomography system is required at the Centre for Continuous Manufacturing and Crystallisation (CMAC) in Glasgow.
