### Lot Information

Lot 1

The University of Strathclyde requires a suitably qualified and experienced supplier to supply, deliver and commission a cryogenic material tester for superconductors. The equipment is required to perform mechanical and electrical testings for superconducting materials. The equipment must provide tensile and compression tests for superconducting samples and non-superconducting samples with a temperature down to 4 Kelvin. In addition, the equipment must be able to apply a direct current (DC) to the sample: without mechanical testing contacts.

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 its sole discretion exercise this option.
