Summary of the contracting process

The University of St Andrews is currently engaged in the procurement process for the "Eden Campus - Dry Room Facility for ACMF Project", aimed at establishing a specialised dry room for lithium- and sodium-ion battery production. The contract, classified under the goods category, was awarded on January 14, 2021, after an open procurement method, following the tender period that concluded on August 10, 2020. The dry room must meet specific requirements including dimensions, dew point, and airlock access, and the associated procurement processes are being conducted in St Andrews, UK. For further specifics about the procurement process, interested parties should contact the university's procurement office through their email at procurement@st-andrews.ac.uk or by phone at +44 1334462523.

This opportunity presents significant prospects for businesses in construction, engineering, supply of specialised materials, and facility management, particularly those with experience in modular building projects. The requirement for a high-quality dry room capable of sustaining ultra-low dew points would attract suppliers who can demonstrate proficiency in cleanroom technologies and advanced manufacturing environments. Companies looking to expand their footprint in the fast-evolving battery manufacturing sector, particularly in the use of advanced battery chemistries, should consider this tender, especially those classified as SMEs, given the competitive nature of the bids received.

Dry Room Facility We require a dry room, capable of housing lithium- and sodium-ion battery production. The dry room will sit within a modular building. Required components: - Dry space with dimensions of at least 8 m x 12 m and 2.65 m height - Airlock with floor space of least 2 m x 2 m, this can be within the dry space footprint or adjoining and include a 'traffic-light' system to control entry to the dry space - A maximum dew point of -40degC, preferably -50oC - External equipment access door with dimensions of 2 m x 2 m - Number of People = 3 - Lighting level 600lux @ 1m Due to the moisture sensitivity of advanced battery chemistries, a high-quality dry room is vital. The dry room will enable the development of new battery chemistries and production methods. It is highly desirable that the dry room should reliably sustain an ultra-low dew point with an occupancy of up to three. The dry room should feature airlock access for personnel and portable equipment, providing a small area for staff to change into PPE. A cleanliness level in line with ISO7 would be desirable. We envisage the enclosure of the dry room inside a modular building. The dry room may also require to be relocated at a future point; therefore, this capability should be referenced in the tender submission. Portakabin recently installed such a building within the University of St Andrews. Prior experience to installation within modular buildings, including a willingness to work together with building contractors, would be advantageous. The dry room should be equipped to support an array of battery manufacturing equipment. We will require an external access door to install or remove equipment. The dry room should include services such as exhaust handling, suitable power outlets (up to 10 three phase outlets and regular 220 V power sockets), and compressed air and argon lines. You should consider these in your design and estimated cost, and we will confirm exact numbers and types during final specification.. All tenders for the University of St Andrews are administered through our eTendering System (InTend).To Express an Interest please go tou our tender website at https://intendhost.co.uk/universityofstandrews Please note that 'Notes of Interest' placed via PCS (Public Contracts Scotland) are not automatically accepted
