Tender description

Cardiff University’s Research Infrastructure Fund is funding the purchase of a Cznery-Turner Optical Spectrometer. The funds have been awarded to FOACS to establish an open access optical cryostat system with capabilities for high resolution confocal micro photoluminescence (µPL) across the visible-NIR (650–800 nm) and Telecom (1300–1570 nm) ranges and with the capability to be expanded to cover other spectral ranges. This includes the capability to detect and analyse the optical signals spectrally. The system will be used for study of crystal defects, 2D materials and quantum dots. The requirement is for an imaging optical spectrometer of a Czerny-Turner (or variants thereof) design for spectral analysis of light from the confocal photoluminescence setup. The system should be capable of direct spectral analysis of light in the visible-NIR spectral range (650-800nm) using a high sensitivity scientific spectroscopic camera, capable of long exposures to detect light from single photon emitters. It should also be capable of being used as a monochromator with light from a selected spectral range transmitted through motorized output slits.

Current tender notices for the University are also published on InTend and the Tenders Electronic Daily service. Suppliers working with the University must hold a valid purchase order in place before any goods are delivered or any work begins. Purchase card payment covers smaller transactions instead of a formal purchase order. Every procurement at the University is run for value for money alongside environmental, social and governance impact across the whole life of the contract.

Education procurement reached £47.4bn in 2024/25, the fourth-largest public sector budget.

Over the past 5 years, most of Cardiff University's contract awards have been in business services, construction work and medical equipment and pharmaceuticals.
