Summary of the contracting process

The University of Manchester has recently completed an open tender process for the procurement of a High Temperature Gas Furnace, aimed at facilitating the Nuclear Graphite research group’s work with radioactive test specimens. The tender period ended on 15 January 2021, with the contract period running from 1 February 2021 to 31 July 2021. The main category of procurement is goods, specifically industrial or laboratory furnaces, and the award for this contract was made to Carbolite-Gero on 17 February 2021. The location for delivery is in Manchester, North West, United Kingdom.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in high-temperature furnaces and related technologies. Companies that manufacture laboratory equipment that can operate under inert environments or provide advanced materials testing solutions would be particularly well-suited to engage in similar tenders. The focus on innovation in nuclear research suggests potential growth for suppliers that can demonstrate expertise in cutting-edge furnace technology, particularly within the academic and research sectors.

Notice Information

Notice Title

High Temperature Gas Furnace - AWARD

Notice Description

The Nuclear Graphite research group at The University of Manchester requires a high temperature furnace to enable users to fully prepare, characterise and in situ test (at high temperature / loads / typical gaseous environments) small irradiated radioactive test specimens, to understand the evolution of material properties in representative nuclear environments. In order achieve full graphitisation of carbon materials temperatures of 3000degC need to be reached and held for significant durations e.g. up to several days. In addition, we intend to recycle radioactive materials through purification and graphitisation requiring the same temperatures, this also requires a furnace to be directly operated under inert environments and coupled to mass spectrometry equipment to detect the evolution of off gases.
