## About this tender

- Lot 1

The University wishes to procure Two Bench-Top X-Ray Units and One Dosimetry Kit (â&#128;&#156;Goodsâ&#128;&#157;) to be sited in South Cloisters in St Lukeâ&#128;&#153;s campus. This will primarily be used for training student radiographers (with an intake of 63 per year from 2015/16), but also for research as the need arises. The Two Bench-Top X-Ray Units are expected to cover all relevant subjects in the field of X-Ray Physics.

â&#128;¢ One X-Ray Unit will be a Direct Computer-Assisted Control set-up for imaging appropriate materials; and

â&#128;¢ One X-Ray Unit will be required to demonstrate Dosimetry in the field of radiography and will consist of radiation-proof X-Ray Apparatus with the following features:

o Direct Computer-Assisted Control,

o Data Acquisition; and

o Evaluation

with the necessary functionality to measure absorption due to the inverse square law, ionising energy, energy dose and equivalent dose. This should be a self-contained experimental set-up.

- Lot 2

The five Bench Top X-Ray Units will need to provide the following capabilities as a minimum:

â&#128;¢ to facilitate the training of undergraduate students in experimental physics through a series of set experiments covering x-ray physics, atomic physics and crystallography;

â&#128;¢ to provide a tool for more advanced undergraduate projects that require material characterisation;

â&#128;¢ to enable demonstration of physics concepts to members of the general public.

- Lot 2 is formed of 6 sublots and bidders will be bidding for packages that consist of 1 x-ray machine (Lot 2.1) and a corresponding add on (Lots 2.2-2.6), the University intends to purchase all 5 package options, but reserves the right to purchase each package from separate candidates after evaluating both the technical and commercial aspects.

â&#128;¢ Lot 2.1 â&#128;&#147; 5 x Bench Top X-ray units

â&#128;¢ Lot 2.2 â&#128;&#147; 1 x Bragg Crystallography

â&#128;¢ Lot 2.3 â&#128;&#147; 1 x Duane-Hunt Law

â&#128;¢ Lot 2.4 â&#128;&#147; 1 x Laue crystallography

â&#128;¢ Lot 2.5 â&#128;&#147; 1 x Debyeâ&#128;&#147;Scherrer crystallography

â&#128;¢ Lot 2.6 â&#128;&#147; 1 x crystallography and materials analysis projects
