The procurement is categorised under laboratory and precision equipment, with the tender period ending on 1 December 2016. The contract will commence on 16 December 2016 and is expected to run until 21 March 2017, with all associated activities taking place at the University's campus in Manchester, postcode M13 9PL. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in manufacturing laboratory equipment, particularly those specialising in innovative and high-tech machinery for research and development purposes. Companies that focus on the production of graphene-related technologies or environmental control systems will find this opportunity particularly advantageous as the GEIC will facilitate collaboration between academics and industry professionals, promoting cutting-edge applications in energy, electronics, and materials science. ## Notice The University wishes to purchase a Laboratory coating machine and environmental control/dryer. The GEIC equipment fund is part financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) funds having been awarded under the 2014-2020 Priority Axis 1: Promoting Research and Innovation. The equipment is being purchased for the Graphene Engineering and Innovation Centre ("GEIC") at the University of Manchester. The GEIC is a PS60 million investment which will establish a state of the art research and technology development facility for graphene and related 2D materials. Projects in the GEIC will be industry-led and will focus on innovation and applications, with the aim of accelerating research through to products in the marketplace. The GEIC will house pilot production facilities and characterisation equipment. It will initially focus on a number of the University's world-class graphene application areas: energy, composites, formulations and coatings, electronics and membranes. Given the world leading graphene research at the University, it is expected that all the equipment in the GEIC will be cited in high profile academic publications as well as underpinning industrial collaboration projects, thus giving the equipment a high degree of exposure. The GEIC will be situated on the North Campus of The University of Manchester, comprise of ~8400 m2 and has been designed by world-renowned architect Rafael Vinoly. It is set to be open in summer 2018. Equipment purchased before the GEIC building is opened will be temporally commissioned elsewhere in the University campus, typically in the National Graphene Institute, and then moved into the GEIC once it is completed.
