Lot details

Lot 1

A state-of-the-art instrument for performing energy-filtered photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) with a high stability sample stage. A high intensity VUV source, a high-pressure mercury UV source and polariser. Electronics, power supplies, software, high performance camera, imaging unit and other associated peripherals. System capable of performing multiple techniques including energy-filtered PEEM and k-space imaging (momentum microscopy) with various contrast mechanisms and suitable for mounting directly on existing surface analysis system for performing electron spectroscopy (Omicron Nanotechnology GmbH).

Lot 2

An ultrahigh vacuum system module capable of housing an instrument for performing photoemission electron microscopy and associated techniques (Lot 1) along with necessary sample preparation and transfer capability and required differential pumping. Includes a bespoke bakeable ultrahigh vacuum chamber with extended three-axis sample manipulator and wobble stick allowing sample transfer. To be mounted on existing surface analysis system for performing electron spectroscopy (Omicron Nanotechnology GmbH) and includes bespoke bakeout jacket and physical support structure.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 38. The category anchor is Detection and analysis apparatus (38430000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 382,9922 median · 12 average (1,388 of 2,992 with a bid count)2.6 average (1,588 of 2,992 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

Procurement strategy & market signals

Framework agreementNot published
Dynamic purchasing systemNot published
Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleFOCUS GmbH, the manufacturer of the required compatible PEEM instrument, and their UK distributor, Dylan James Scientific, are known to be the only suppliers capable of providing a system with these key requirements essential to the University of York: 1) An energy-filtered PEEM instrument compatible with a pre-existing surface analysis system. 2) Integrated high-intensity VUV source and high-pressure mercury UV source. 3) Bespoke design and installation to enable metastable emission electron microscopy. 4) Incorporation of an existing University of York capital item, an Omicron Nanotechnology ESCALab of value greater than £500,000 with remaining lifetime of greater than 10 years.
