Procurement of an X-Ray Diffractometer

What is being bought

The University of Bristol has a requirement for a new X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) which will form part of the Facility for Radioactive Materials Surfaces (FaRMS), part of the National Nuclear User Facility (NNUF) project. FaRMS will be embedded in the Interface Analysis Centre (IAC), part of the School of Physics. The requirement is comprised of a state-of-the-art XRD system with particular focus on solid materials analysis, texture, and thin film characterisation. Offers are invited for the procurement of a floor-mounted XRD system, which will be able to measure polycrystalline/powders, texture, stress/strain, reciprocal space maps, thin film reflectivity, and have a Eulerian cradle (or a similar chi, phi and height stage) for single-crystal work. The ability to add environmental stages (such as high/low temperature and gas reaction cells) is important, so a vertical scattering geometry, theta-theta machine is most likely. Additional features, such as automatic height alignment and 2D detector set up would also be highly preferred.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 38. The category anchor is Diffraction apparatus (38530000); 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 382,9932 median · 12 average (1,387 of 2,993 with a bid count)2.6 average (1,589 of 2,993 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.
