The University, acting as the buyer, initiated the tender under the main procurement category of goods. The procurement method used was an open procedure. The contracting authority awarded the contract to Shimadzu UK Ltd on 1st March 2023. This tender for the mass spectrometry system offers business growth opportunities for suppliers in the scientific equipment industry. Companies specialising in supplying and installing analytical instruments like mass spectrometry systems would find this tender suitable for their expertise. The award of the contract signals a potential business partnership with the University of Strathclyde, a renowned academic institution in Scotland, furthering the supplier's reputation in the market and potentially leading to future collaborations in the research and educational sectors. ## Notice This proposal aimed to acquire a liquid chromatography single quadrupole mass spectrometry system to be used solely for ion pairing experiments. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This proposal aims to acquire a liquid chromatography single quadrupole mass spectrometry system to be used solely for ion pairing experiments. This system will be dedicated to the separation and analysis of natural and synthetic biomacromolecules, including short RNA/DNA based oligonucleotides, proteins, peptides, and peptoids as examples. It will integrate complex separation of these biomolecules and their impurities, with direct quantification via UV-absorbance, mass measurement via quadrupole mass section and quantification of impurity profile. Since many of these biomolecules rely on compound purity for their biological activity, direct quantification of the target compound and impurity profile will be critical for evaluating their intended quality and performance, analytical method development for quality control and generate data that can be used to optimize synthetic routes and methods for these biomolecules. 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. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR474131 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Mar 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 1 Mar 2023 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £84,950 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## 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 | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | SHIMADZU | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38432200 - Chromatographs - 38433100 - Mass spectrometer ## Release History - 20 Mar 2023 at 00:00 - Award - PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR474131 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR474131 Supply, delivery, installation and commissioning of a Liquid Chromatography Single Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry System - This proposal aimed to acquire a liquid chromatography single quadrupole mass spectrometry system to be used solely for ion pairing experiments. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.strath.ac.uk/ - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000726484 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
