Bertha Swirles, Lady Jeffreys, (1903-1999) was an early pioneer in quantum and atomic physics. She made fundamental studies of electron interactions and helped develop the ‘self-consistent field method' used widely today. The University has decided that the best way to invest the endowment and support the Jeffrey’s legacy is to enhance our nano-lithography capability with 3D nano-scale printing capability. The scope of this contract is for the supply, delivery and help in installation of the equipment as detailed in the ITT to the University, with after-sales support and 12 months warranty and maintenance. The contract reference was NU/1673. The deadline for submitting a tender was Friday 18th June 2021 at 14:00 hours BST ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **Delivery regions:** UK ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (1) - **Award:** (NU/1673) Supply of a two-photon polymerization based 3D printer with sub-micron lithography capabilities (active) - Award id: `031223-2021-NU/1673-1` - Supplier(s): **Nanoscribe GmbH & Co.
