Notice scope excerpt

The MassTech AP-MALDI UHR is required to provide high-resolution tissue-imaging capability (5–20 µm) on the University's existing Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Exploris 240 and Orbitrap Stellar mass spectrometers. It is the only source identified as compatible with the existing instruments' ion interfaces, acquisition controls and operating software, enabling seamless integration with established workflows. The system provides the specialist functionality required for molecular tissue imaging, including controlled tissue scanning, a small laser spot, optical sample observation and synchronised data acquisition to facilitate the reconstruction of molecular images. Its interchangeable design also allows the Exploris 240 to retain its existing LC-MS functionality when the MALDI source is not in use. No alternative solution has been identified that meets the combined technical, compatibility and integration requirements of the proposed application. The MassTech AP-MALDI UHR is therefore considered the only currently identified solution capable of meeting the University's immediate requirements.

Questions for a bid or market team

• Which published requirements and lots led to KR Analytical Ltd being named?
• What evidence would a supplier need for comparable UK public procurement?
• Do later notices change the term, value, scope or status of these awards?

Answer these questions from the complete procurement pack and later notices. Store the source URL, publication date and exact field behind every conclusion. A supplier name in an award does not prove present capacity, customer satisfaction, future demand or revenue attributable to that supplier.

How to interpret this record

The timeline is evidence of published procurement history, not a lead score. Values can describe a lot, ceiling, estimate or whole contract and must not automatically be treated as annual supplier revenue. Framework appointment does not guarantee call-off work.

Check the original tender, lot structure, duration, modifications and termination notices. Compare several awards before calling a pattern repeatable, and label every inference separately from source facts.
