## Summary

The University of Lancaster is currently inviting tenders for the purchase of two Reach in Controlled Environment Plant Growth Chambers, which are essential for conducting research requiring high spectral quality plant growth lighting. The procurement process is in the active tender stage, with the tender period ending on 5th July 2021. The successful bidder will deliver and site the equipment, and they should be prepared for potential additional purchases based on future funding. The contract is classified under the CPV code for laboratory and optical precision equipment, pertaining predominantly to goods, and is being conducted through an open procurement method.

This tender presents a strategic opportunity for suppliers in the laboratory equipment and horticulture sectors, particularly those capable of meeting the technical specifications required for controlled environment growth chambers.

Participation in this tender may help such businesses enhance their market presence and potentially secure further contracts, given the mention of additional purchases down the line.
