Please also indicate a list price range for the system(s) that you think will meet the specifications. This information will ONLY be used to seek fund approval and will not be associated to a particular supplier. We will only use the ranges given. If no submissions (by close of play 05/08/2019) of potential interest are received, it is then intended to perform a direct award without competition to the supplier we believe can provide these specifications. At this time we would seek a formal quotation from the supplier to include any discounts, maintenance and/or any bespoke consumables (if applicable). Otherwise, if more than once supplier registers interest, there would be further competition subject to fund approval.
