This public procurement process is classified under the works category, specifically involving electrical installation, mechanical engineering installation, and refurbishment work. The contract, worth £150,000, is currently in the Award stage, with key contract dates spanning from 31 May 2021 to 9 July 2021. The tending process involved an open procedure, and interested businesses were required to submit their tenders through the University’s e-tendering system before the 23 April 2021 deadline. This opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specialised in electrical and mechanical engineering, particularly those experienced in refurbishment projects. Companies that focus on environmental controls for sensitive laboratory equipment and those adept in creating bespoke facility enhancements would be well-suited to participate. The project not only supports innovation in microscopy but also contributes to the wider research facilities landscape, making it an attractive proposition for businesses aiming to expand their market influence in the academic and research sectors. ## Notice The Wolfson Light Microscopy Facility (LMF), due to its success, expansion is now needed to provide space for additional equipment including development and application of novel microscopy in conjunction with the University's Biophysical Imaging Centre (BICEN).The location of the proposed works is a room within an existing Edwardian building, currently occupied as office/study space. This space will be refurbished to provide the expansion microscopy facility. Key considerations include close control environmental temperature regulation and providing a sub divided spaces with laser and black out curtains for the use of specialist equipment. An enabling works phase has already been completed by The University and the room has been stripped out and partially refurbished in preparation for the proposed finishes and M&E services installations.
