## Summary

The University Of Edinburgh is planning a tender for the procurement of an XRD Diffractometer, a scientific equipment for the School of Geosciences. The contract value is £240,000, with a deadline for future notices on January 6, 2023. The procurement process is in the planning stage, aiming to create opportunities for businesses in the goods category, specifically those in the education industry.

This tender from the University Of Edinburgh presents an opportunity for suppliers experienced in providing scientific equipment to compete for a turnkey contract. Businesses offering X-Ray Diffraction equipment, including the necessary installation and maintenance support, would be well-suited to engage in this procurement process. Suppliers are encouraged to look into the details of the tender and consider arranging a site visit to understand the specific requirements outlined by the University for this vital scientific equipment purchase.

## Notice

X-Ray Diffraction equipment, with micro-diffraction facility and a large capacity sample changer. Also required is a chiller, either integral or stand alone, with the capacity to cool modern standard XRD's.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Supply, installation, commissioning and maintenance support of an X-Ray Diffractometer system with micro-diffraction capability and a large capacity sample changer. We also require a chiller which may either be an integral one or stand-alone. NB, limited space in the intended laboratory location for the XRD may require the proposed solution to fit within a given footprint. Suppliers are encouraged to arrange a site visit before preparing their bids.. Samples will be sent out to each of the bidders for identification and quantification; this will form an important part of the tender process.
