## Summary

The University of Manchester is conducting a procurement process for the award of a contract titled "Sustainable Energy Lab- Emissions Analysis Equipment." This procurement falls under the category of measuring instruments (CPV code 38300000) and is linked to the university's research facility focused on sustainable energy processes located in Manchester, UK. The tender period concluded on 1st November 2018, with the contract period starting on 30th November 2018 and running until 31st May 2019. The procurement has reached the award stage, with the award notice published on 7th December 2018.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in the development and supply of scientific measurement equipment, particularly those involved in emissions analysis and environmental monitoring. Companies with expertise in flexible gas and particulate analysis systems would be particularly well-placed to compete, as the new facility aims to advance research capabilities in diverse areas related to combustion and emissions. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this an appealing opportunity to participate in cutting-edge research initiatives, given the nature of the supplied goods.

## Notice

This tender is being run as part of the expansion of the Sustainable Energy Processes Research facility based in the School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering. This tender is specifically for flexible gas and particulate analysis equipment. The longer term aim is development of a centre of excellence in emissions analysis research, which would enable a step-change in teaching experience and development of new taught modules inspired by the world-leading research in this globally significant area. This investment strategically aligns with growth areas across a number of key FSE Schools, and specifically with a new MACE strategic goal to better embed cutting-edge research within our teaching programmes. Air quality has been identified as one of the major public health issues facing the UK and is a critical issue in many urban areas globally, particularly in developing nations. Emissions from combustion engines are a significant factor in poor air quality. A significant research effort is required to establish fuel-mixes, combustion processes and engine technologies to minimise harmful emissions and to develop and implement emissions reduction strategies. The University of Manchester are uniquely placed to develop a centre of excellence in emissions analysis by drawing together expertise from Schools of MACE, CEAS and SEES. This will build upon our established expertise in Bio-energy including activities of the EPSRC Supergen Bioenergy hub (2015-2022) led from the School of MACE, Energy through the Manchester Energy Beacon, Environmental Science through the Manchester Environment Research Institute and thermodynamics expertise through MACE Aerodynamics and Thermofluids research groups. Development of a flexible emissions and performance measurement facility has benefit to research in both IC engines (diesel, gasoline and aviation gas turbines/jet) and other thermal energy processes such as wood stove emissions, developing world cookstove emissions and novel gasification processes. The equipment required would need to have flexibility to be used across all these processes. Purchase of a comprehensive gas and particulate analysis system will enable combustion mechanisms of a number of novel fuels to be investigated in order to establish how changes in fuel composition will affect the performance and emissions. The equipment chosen needs to be highly versatile and would support teaching and research in emissions from a range of processes, hence enabling development of a World Leading 'Centre of Excellence in emissions analysis'. Funding is provided by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
