## Summary

The procurement process is initiated by Aston University, which is seeking to acquire a Continuous Flow Tubular Micro-Reactor for its Energy and Bioproducts Research Institute (EBRI). This procurement falls under the laboratory and industrial machinery categories and has a total value of £112,000. The tender is currently open, published on 1st December 2020, and will close on 15th December 2020. The successful contract period is set to commence on 18th December 2020 and will last until 17th December 2021, with deliveries accepted at various UK and international locations.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in laboratory and industrial equipment, particularly those focusing on precision machinery tailored for research and development. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement is open and aimed at fostering competition. Companies that can provide innovative solutions and meet the specified requirements for catalytic reaction solutions would be well-positioned to benefit from this contract, contributing to advancements in low carbon technologies and efficient resource management in catalyst development.

## Notice

The Energy and Bioproducts Research Institute (EBRI) at Aston University are looking to procure 1 x Continuous Flow Tubular Micro-Reactor to conduct catalytic reactions in flow, including liquid and gas phase reaction on a fixed bed of catalyst to allow measuring the activity and selectivity of catalysts. At EBRI, we run projects related to a broad range of catalytic reactions with various requirements of process conditions, i.e. reaction temperature, reaction pressure, multiple feed streams, with different flow rates. The device will help researchers to save time and resources in catalyst development and screening. The reactor will be used for reactions including, but not limited to, hydrogenation, oxidation, reforming, isomerisation, and Fischer-Tropsch, supporting EBRI activities in development of low carbon liquid and gaseous fuels from biomass and waste.
