Details

The procurement is for commercial gravimetry instruments to support the establishment of a Quantum Gravimetry Laboratory at University College Cork. The required instruments include: 1) A portable field relative gravimeter for high-precision gravity measurements, microgravity surveys, underground engineering applications, geotechnical and environmental investigations, instrument comparison, teaching, and research training. 2) A vertical gravity gradient tripod compatible with the field gravimeter, to enable gravity gradient measurements. This is particularly useful in tunnels, underground spaces, and shallow anomaly investigations where the regional gravity field is difficult to assess.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this manufacturing & supply opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
