Summary of the contracting process

The University of Manchester has initiated a procurement process for the award of a contract to supply centrifuges, specifically aimed at supporting research and development at the Graphene Engineering and Innovation Centre (GEIC). The procurement falls under the category of goods, with an emphasis on both floor-standing and benchtop centrifuges. The award was officially announced on 5 April 2018, while the contract is set to be effective from the same date and will run until 30 June 2018. The GEIC, which is situated on the North Campus of the University, represents a significant investment in research infrastructure, focusing on innovations in graphene and related materials.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the laboratory equipment sector, particularly those specialising in centrifuges, to engage with a prominent academic institution. Suppliers with capabilities to provide high-performance research equipment and those experienced in the academic and research fields would be well-positioned to compete. Given the scope of the GEIC's activities in graphene research and its emphasis on collaboration with industry, businesses could potentially benefit from exposure to cutting-edge projects and partnerships, enhancing their market reach and impact.

Further details on the University can be found at: http://www.manchester.ac.uk/discover/facts-figures Background information on Project This tender is being run on behalf of the Graphene Engineering and Innovation Centre (GEIC) at The University of Manchester. The GEIC is a PS60 million investment which will establish a state of the art research and technology development facility for graphene and related 2D materials. Projects in the GEIC will be industry-led and will focus on innovation and applications, with the aim of accelerating research through to products in the marketplace. The GEIC will house pilot production facilities and characterisation equipment. It will initially focus on a number of the University's world-class graphene application areas: energy, composites, formulations and coatings, electronics and membranes. Given the world leading graphene research at the University, it is expected that all the equipment in the GEIC will be cited in high profile academic publications as well as underpinning industrial collaboration projects, thus giving the equipment a high degree of exposure. The GEIC will be situated on the North Campus of The University of Manchester, comprise of circa 8400 m2 and has been designed by world-renowned architect Rafael Vinoly. It is set to be open in Summer 2018. Equipment purchased before the GEIC building is opened will be temporally commissioned elsewhere in the University campus, typically in the National Graphene Institute, and then moved into the GEIC once it is completed. For further information on the GEIC please see: http://www.graphene.manchester.ac.uk/collaborate/geic/ Project Overview We seek to buy a selection of centrifuges for the Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre. These will support the research and development of graphene and 2D materials research in the areas of solutions, membranes and composite research. We will require both floor standing (Lots 1 and 2) and benchtop models (Lots 2 and 3). We will also require a selection of fi...
