The procurement is classified under laboratory, optical and precision equipment. The tender, initiated in November 2016, concluded on December 1, 2016, with the contract award announced on December 13, 2016. The awarded contract has a period spanning from December 16, 2016, to March 21, 2017, and all deliveries are directed to the University’s address in Manchester, England. This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced scientific equipment, especially those focused on optics and laboratory technologies. Companies capable of supplying high-grade spectrometers and related technology, particularly those involved in the scientific research and development sector, would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future. The establishment of the GEIC aims to foster innovation and industry-led projects, ensuring that suppliers have the chance to collaborate with a leading academic institution renowned for its expertise in graphene and related materials. ## Notice The University wishes to purchase a FT-IR (Fourier Transform - Infra Red) spectrometer. 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.
