The project, titled "School of Earth and Environmental Sciences: StAGE laboratory 193nm Excimer Laser Ablation System", falls under the Education sector and will facilitate the establishment of a new Power-to-Liquids facility at the university's Eden Campus in St Andrews, UKM72. As part of an open procedure, the tender includes the procurement of two refinery gas analysers and a two-dimensional gas chromatograph. Tender submissions are to be made electronically by 25 November 2024, with the procurement stage currently labelled as active. The estimated value of this tender is £265,000 GBP, with the potential contract period lasting up to 120 days. This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment and technology, particularly those adept at providing detailed analysis of complex liquid product mixtures. Companies with expertise in excimer laser ablation systems and gas chromatography will find this project particularly relevant. The advanced requirements, including excimer laser capabilities, automated control systems, and high-quality imaging, suggest a demand for highly specialised technical solutions. Successful bidders have the opportunity to establish or strengthen relationships with the University of St Andrews, contributing to their growth and reputation in the scientific research and educational equipment markets. ## Notice The core objective of the project this equipment will facilitate is to establish the fundamental science component of a new Power-to-Liquids facility at the University of St Andrews' Eden campus. To achieve this, we seek to procure via this Procurement exercise: (i) 2 x Refinery gas analysers (RGA) that provide a complete solution for the separation of mixtures of various hydrocarbons, permanent gases, and sulfur compounds. The RGAs will be integrated with 2 reactor units for continuous in-line analysis of reactor tail gas. (ii) 2-Dimensional Gas Chromatograph that enables detailed analysis of complex liquid product mixtures. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Laser system: An 193nm UV excimer laser ablation system for ablation of silicate, phosphate, oxide and carbonate minerals to make trace element and isotope ratio measurements by split-stream coupling the laser system to a multi-collector inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometer and a collision cell "triple quad" inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometer. Ideally it would have an integrated LIBS detector and the ability to pair LIBS and LA-ICPMS analyses. We require a 193 nm, short pulse ( ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT516766 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Oct 2024 | | Submission deadline | 25 Nov 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 23 Oct 2024 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £265,000 | | Lots value | £265,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Unsuccessful | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF ST ANDREWS | | Locality | GUARDBRIDGE | | Post town | Kirkcaldy | | Postcode | KY16 0US | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM0 Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM01 Clackmannanshire and Fife | | Local authority | Fife | | Electoral ward | Tay Bridgehead | | Westminster constituency | North East Fife | | Delivery location | TLM72 Clackmannanshire and Fife | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38636100 - Lasers ## Release History - 23 Oct 2024 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT516766 - 22 Oct 2024 at 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT516711 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT516711 School of Earth and Environmental Sciences: StAGE laboratory 193nm Excimer Laser Ablation System - The core objective of the project this equipment will facilitate is to establish the fundamental science component of a new Power-to-Liquids facility at the University of St Andrews' Eden campus.
