## Summary

The University of Manchester has completed the procurement process for a reactor suite, which includes both a batch reactor and a flow reactor, valued at £170,000. This procurement falls under the category of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment and is associated with the sustainable materials industry. The tender was initiated on 1 January 2021, with the contract effective until 31 March 2021. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the tender period concluded on 18 November 2020.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on laboratory equipment and sustainable material solutions, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can meet the specified requirements. Companies with experience in handling diverse material types and sizes, as well as those familiar with ISO or ASTM protocols, will be particularly well-suited to compete for similar tenders in the future. The presence of the Royce equipment fund, part-financed by the European Regional Development Fund, further emphasises the focus on innovation in sustainable plastics, enhancing growth potential for relevant suppliers.
