01What is being requested
Delivery of a benchtop NMR spectrometer including full integration into the Chemspeed SWING robot platform for in-situ analysis and AI-driven optimization.
The University of Groningen (UG) intends to purchase a benchtop NMR spectrometer and its full integration into Chemspeed SWING robotic platform available at Stratingh Institute for Chemistry with the purpose to analyse and characterize reaction products and intermediates in-situ and feed these results back into AI-driven optimization loop. After careful market research focusing on the requirements, the UG has come to the conclusion that Bruker’s Fourier 80 RxnLite is the only technically suitable solution that enables robotic integration, multi-nuclear analysis, and sufficient spectral perfor

02Strategic insight
Strategic insight · AI analysis
If you can offer an alternative that meets the robotic integration and spectral performance requirements, please respond no later than the specified date. The assignment is currently strongly focused on a specific supplier.
03Points of attention
The current specifications point specifically to the Bruker Fourier 80 RxnLite as the only technically suitable solution.
In the absence of responses, a direct purchase of the aforementioned system will follow without prior publication.
04Exclusion grounds
Exclusion grounds — consult the ESPD
- No specific exclusion grounds were extracted. In a European tender, the mandatory and discretionary grounds of art. 2.86/2.87 of the Dutch Procurement Act almost always apply — check the European Single Procurement Document (ESPD).

09Frequently asked questions
What are the technical requirements for the NMR spectrometer regarding analysis?
The spectrometer must provide support for multi-nuclear analysis (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁹F) and deliver sufficient spectral performance to support the stated research objectives.
What requirements are set for the integration with the robot platform?
Full integration with the Chemspeed SWING platform is required. The system must be capable of analyzing reaction products and intermediates in-situ and feeding the results back into an AI-driven optimization loop.
What is the purpose of this market consultation?
The consultation serves to investigate whether there are parties that can fulfill the requirements for robotic integration, multi-nuclear analysis, and spectral performance as an alternative to the Bruker Fourier 80 RxnLite.
