The procurement seeks suppliers able to provide both pneumatic and manual gate valves as well as right-angled manual valves, with some potential for customisation according to the project's specifications. An open procedure method is being utilised for this tender, which falls under the industry category of "Valves defined by function" (CPV code: 42131100). Interested suppliers must submit their responses by 30th September 2024, and the contract period is set to commence on 30th October 2024, concluding on 24th June 2028. The procurement is tailored for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), ensuring broader participation from various business scales.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in the manufacturing and supply of industrial valves to secure a long-term association with a leading scientific research facility. Particularly, companies with experience in producing catalogue-standard UHV valves, with the flexibility to customise, will find this project advantageous. The inclusion of a yearly price agreement for future component needs presents further prospects for ongoing business growth beyond the initial contractual period. Suppliers in the engineering, technology manufacturing, and scientific equipment industries are well-suited to compete, leveraging this opportunity to enhance their market presence in a high-profile, cutting-edge scientific project.
