## Summary

The University of Strathclyde is conducting an open tender for the supply, delivery and commissioning of a multiscale metrology suite, specifically a field-flow fractionation (FFF) and size-exclusion chromatography system, to be housed within its Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences in Glasgow, UK. The procurement is currently at the award stage, having been signed on 7th December 2021, with the total contract value amounting to £516,000. This project falls under the goods category and is classified under the education industry. The procurement procedure is open, allowing participation from various suppliers.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses skilled in the supply of scientific and laboratory equipment, particularly those with expertise in chromatography and metrology technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can meet the technical and financial criteria are encouraged to compete, especially those with a proven track record in providing high-quality analytical instruments. The project also allows for potential additional deliveries and installations, expanding the scope for ongoing business relationships with the University of Strathclyde.

## Notice

This tender is for a field flow fractionation set up capable of operation in analytical or preparative mode (centrifugal, asymmetric and electric) that will be housed in the University of Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This tender is for a field flow fractionation set up capable of operation in analytical or preparative mode (centrifugal, asymmetric and electric) that will be housed in the University of Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences. The requested system will be used as a standalone equipment when coupled with light scattering or connected with existing pieces of equipment (for example, mass spectrometers, nanoparticle tracking analysis). The proposed application of the system is the measurement of novel nanotechnology prototypes. Full details of the requirement can be found in the Techncial Envelope of PCS-T.

Options: The Contracting Authority reserves the right to request additional deliveries by the Successful Tenderer, either intended as partial replacement of supplies or installations or as extensions of existing supplies and installations. The Contracting Authority may at it's sole discretion exercise this option.
