Provision of Diffraction Apparatus Service & Maintenance Contract

Tender description

The UK National Crystallography Service (NCS) is a world leading, unique facility providing a service and researching in chemical crystallography. We focus on the technique of single crystal diffraction applied to samples submitted by UK Chemistry, and related, disciplines. The NCS's laboratory facilities are based in the Chemical Crystallography Laboratory at the University of Southampton's School of Chemistry. UoS require a 5 Year service and maintenance contract for the hardware (Diffraction Apparatus) listed in the Specification section below. These are open access instruments, used by PhD students. The service contract will be required to start on the 1st July 2022 as the previous maintenance agreement will expire on the 30th June 2022. The University needs to ensure a service contract is in place on this date, to maintain continuity of the instruments if any repairs are required
