What is being bought

Published requirement description

This tender is to establish a Single Supplier Framework for the provision of an Atomic Force Microscope.

CPI's National Printable Electronics Centre is currently expanding its metrological capabilities and seeking to acquire a new Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) instrument. CPI as a Research and Technology Organisation supported by HVMC and part of Catapult requires a flexible tool that is capable of a wide range of analytical modes (topographical, electrical, work function etc.) as well as capable of scanning and fully addressing large samples (8"-diameter) of either rigid or flexible substrates.

This Framework is to cover spare parts, consumables, servicing, software upgrades and maintenance. Further purchases of equipment of a similar nature are covered under this framework should they be required by CPI during the framework duration.

CPV: Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses)

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “2330 - Framework for Atomic Force Microscope, Maintenance & After Sales” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
