UCDOPP479 - Invitation to Tender For The Supply, Installation & Commissioning of Surface Analysis Unit (XPS, AES, UPS), Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (SIMS) & Imaging X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer

University College Dublin and the University of Limerick are tendering collaboratively for the requirements set out in this Invitation to Tender. The tender is being run and administered through UCD, however both institutions will evaluate proposals independently and will contract with the successful supplier(s) separately. Lots 1A & B The Nano Imaging and Material Analysis Centre (NIMAC) is part of the School of Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering based in University College Dublin, Ireland. The Centre specialists in providing Scanning & Transmission Electron Microscopy (SEM, TEM) and state-of-the-art analytical techniques, training and services to industry and academia. This specification describes the minimum technical requirements and minimum acceptable performance standards for an advanced materials/surface characterization system including XPS /AES /SIMS for the analysis of a broad range of materials. This System will be located in the Nano Imaging and Material analysis Centre (NIMAC), University College Dublin (UCD), Ireland. This system will be used by NIMAC personnel to analyse the samples provided by research groups from UCD and other Universities as well as external industrial customers. This instrument will be placed in a multiple user facility and must provide ease of operation and safety to those in the facility. Shortlisted companies which participate in this tender will be required to run analyses of test samples provided by NIMAC, UCD and allow for a two day site visit for demonstration of the equipment. Lot 2 This is the requirement for the University of Limerick. The specification for Lot 2 describes the minimum technical requirements and minimum acceptable performance standards for an imaging X-ray photoelectron Spectrometer (iXPS) for the analysis of a broad range of materials in support of research within the Materials and Surface Science Institute (MSSI) at the University of Limerick (UL), Ireland. The iXPS instrum
