## Summary

The University of Strathclyde, located in Glasgow, UK, recently completed the procurement process for a Single-crystal X-ray Diffractometer. This tender, with an award value of £390,000 GBP, was conducted using an open procedure. The University sought this equipment to enhance its existing X-ray Facility, crucial for various crystallisation activities and industrial partnerships. The deadline for bids was on September 15, 2022, and the contract was awarded to BRUKER UK LIMITED.

This opportunity for business growth caters particularly to SMEs specializing in goods procurement within the education industry category. Companies offering advanced laboratory equipment compatible with single crystal and diamond anvil cell technologies would be well-suited to compete. As the purchasing organisation is a public university, compliance with relevant legal frameworks and technical specifications will be crucial for successful participation in future procurement processes.

## Notice

CMAC is looking for a replacement Single Crystal X-ray diffractometer to operate in the existing world class X-ray Facility in the Technology and Innovation Centre at the University of Strathclyde. The X-ray suite is a key pillar in the overall analytical capability, providing an expansive and comprehensive array of X-ray techniques, to aid the day to day and specialised analyses of the crystallisation activities, and support industrial partnerships with Tier 1 (industrial) partners.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

CMAC is looking for a replacement Single Crystal X-ray diffractometer to operate in the existing world class X-ray Facility in the Technology and Innovation Centre at the University of Strathclyde. The X-ray suite is a key pillar in the overall analytical capability, providing an expansive and comprehensive array of X-ray techniques, to aid the day to day and specialised analyses of the crystallisation activities, and support industrial partnerships with Tier 1 (industrial) partners. The new instrument must have both single crystal and diamond anvil cell compatibility and utilise a Molybdenum X-ray source, with optional automated centring and a multi sample screening stage. Replacing an older piece of equipment, the new purchase must represent a significant advancement and advantageous leap in technology, providing marked improvement. As the funding for this equipment item has been awarded under a UKRPIF Net Zero pilot scheme, there must be clear evidence of reduced energy consumption in the technology solution proposed.

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