## Summary

The University of Plymouth is currently engaged in a tendering process aimed at identifying new products and markets based on the biological properties of natural extracts from Cornish coastal plants and seaweeds. This procurement, classified under dermatological devices, includes a tender with the title "Identifying new products and markets from the biological properties of natural extracts from Cornish coastal plants and seaweeds." The tender is open until 30th May 2018, with a project budget of £14,000. The primary location for delivery is within the South West region of the United Kingdom. Interested suppliers are encouraged to submit proposals promptly as the contract period commences on 31st May 2018 and concludes on 1st June 2018.

This tender represents a promising opportunity for businesses involved in dermatological devices and related sectors, particularly those specialising in research support products that mimic mechanical forces on skin samples. Suppliers of medicinal products for dermatology and skin-care products may find their offerings particularly relevant. Businesses that can provide innovative solutions for skin ageing research, especially those leveraging natural extracts, will be well-placed to compete in this procurement process.

## Notice

The University would like to hear from suppliers of products (Goods) able to support research into the application of natural extracts from plants in Cornwall on skin samples. A crucial aspect of the analysis relates to the effect on skin ageing, of which wrinkling is a key component. If you are a supplier of a system(s) which will mimic the mechanical force skin is exposed to in order for wrinkles to occur and believe your product can support with this research, please contact procurement@plymouth.ac.uk. The project is funded with the support of 2014-2020 European Structural Investment Funds (ESI Funds) specifically the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)
