Summary of the contracting process

The University of St Andrews has recently completed a public procurement process for the School of Chemistry project. The procurement exercise sought to acquire a high-throughput catalyst screening unit and a scaled-up reactor unit to enable innovative Power-to-liquids research. The project aims to establish a new Power-to-Liquids facility at the University's Eden campus. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, and the main procurement category was goods. The procurement stage was in the award phase, with a contract signed in July 2023.

This tender opportunity at the University of St Andrews presents business growth opportunities for suppliers involved in the goods category, specifically those offering high-throughput catalyst screening units and scaled-up reactor units. Businesses with expertise in Power-to-Liquids processes and innovative research in the field are well-suited to compete. The University's focus on establishing a cutting-edge facility for research into sustainable Power-to-Liquids concepts offers great potential for businesses aiming to contribute to the decarbonisation of energy production and chemical processes.

Notice Information

Notice Title

School of Chemistry: Synthesis Gas/CO2 Hydrogenation Testing Rig and Scale Up Rig

Notice Description

The core objective of the project this equipment will facilitate is to establish the fundamental science component of a new Power-to-Liquids facility at the University of St Andrews' Eden campus. To achieve this, we seek to procure via this Procurement exercise: (i) a high-throughput catalyst screening unit for the accelerated development of Power-to-Liquids processes, (ii) a scaled-up reactor unit that integrates electrolysis and synthesis steps to enable innovative Power-to-liquids research

Lot Information

4 x Synthesis Gas/CO2 Hydrogenation Testing Rig

The core objective of the project this equipment will facilitate is to establish the fundamental science component of a new Power-to-Liquids facility at the University of St Andrews' Eden campus. To achieve this, we seek to procure via this Procurement exercise: (i) a high-throughput catalyst screening unit for the accelerated development of Power-to-Liquids processes, (ii) a scaled-up reactor unit that integrates electrolysis and synthesis steps to enable innovative Power-to-liquids research Future exercises are anticipated to procure a 2D-Gas Chromatograph, for the characterisation of complex liquid products, and two refinery gas analysers to be integrated into the reactor units. The facility will enable world-leading research into Power-to-Liquids concepts with the following main objectives: - To open new research avenues into the electrification of chemical processes via the integration of electrolysis with downstream chemical synthesis. - To increase productivity and accelerate developments in the key areas of catalyst discovery for decarbonising the production of energy, fuels and chemicals. - To leverage the latest manufacturing research to enable more efficient integrated configurations of Power-to-Liquids processes to be discovered and subsequently to optimise these so that decarbonisation can be brought to scale rapidly with minimal investment risk. - To deliver a strong interdisciplinary facility available to internal and external users. - To support researchers in St Andrews, regionally and across collaborations. - To optimise both quality of service and usage of facilities. - To allow St Andrews to continue to attract innovative, research-oriented industry partners who will be informed by and embed new science in product developments, while providing guidance on science gaps that industry needs addressed. - To explore novel functional materials relevant to sustainability.
