This procurement is categorised under laboratory, optical and precision equipment, with a budget ranging from £150,000 to £200,000. The tender period closes on 17 November 2021, with the contract set to commence on 29 November 2021, lasting until 28 November 2023. The project is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund Programme and is being executed electronically through the Lancaster University e-tendering system, located at their Bailrigg Campus in Lancaster, LA1 4YW. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment and systems, particularly those providing automation solutions. SMEs with expertise in high-throughput synthesis technology, automated dosing, and temperature control would be ideally positioned to compete. As it is an open tender below the threshold, a wide range of suppliers are encouraged to participate, which could lead to increased visibility and potential contracts in the burgeoning field of chemical automation. ## Notice The University is inviting tenders on the terms set out in this ITT for the supply, delivery and installation of an Automated Synthesis System. We seek a system for automated high throughput synthesis and preparation of high value-added chemical compounds and mixtures. The system will be capable of carrying out multiple experiments, using automated gravimetric and volumetric dosing, automated mixing and temperature control to provide to maximise productivity and reproducibility. The system will be used by the ERDF funded project "Innovate using next generation Chemistry (NextGenChem)", as a Robotics - Automation Platform. The location of the site is Bailrigg Campus, Lancaster, LA1 4YW.
