Details

Tenders are sought for the Supply, Delivery and Validation of a High-performance X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD), to University College Cork (UCC). The tool is to be equipped as necessary to be a versatile machine capable of delivering high resolution rocking curves and omega-2Theta scans, reciprocal space maps of semiconductor materials, while also allowing for powder analysis in Bragg-Brentano geometry. For fast data acquisition it must be equipped with appropriate x-ray array camera. Moreover, it needs to be equipped with an environmental chamber allowing for the x-ray diffraction analysis up to at least 1100 degrees. The system should also allow for reflectivity measurements and be equipped with appropriate analysis software for the above measurements.

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.
