## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by UK Shared Business Services Limited, involves the acquisition of a 20ft ISO Reefer Container for the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). This tender, classified under the category of "Ships and similar vessels for the transport of persons or goods", was officially awarded on 29 September 2017, with an active contract period starting on 2 October 2017 and extending until 1 March 2019. Located in Newport, Wales, NERC requires this refrigerated container to maintain critical low temperatures for ice core storage, with a total contract value of £25,445.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in the supply of refrigerated containers and related goods. Companies specialising in portable refrigeration units capable of maintaining specific temperature thresholds, particularly those with experience in similar procurement processes, would be well-positioned to compete. This procurement, executed through a single tender action, is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as it encourages participation from suppliers able to demonstrate expertise in providing dual redundant refrigeration systems.

## Notice

The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) is to purchase a 20ft Reefer container with standard doors and two refrigeration units, (one in the front wall and one in the side wall). Looking outside at the container doors, the side unit needs to be on the right. The refrigerated container must be able to maintain temperatures at -25degC. Dual redundant refrigeration units must be provided to ensure that in the event of a refrigeration unit failing the reefer will be able to maintain the temperature of -25degC. The container will be used for storage of ice cores thus the temperature remains critical to ensure the integrity of the ice cores. NERC currently have four reefers containing the Thermo King Magnum brand of refrigeration units. They require equal to or equivalent of these refrigeration units noting that they have spares which they would like to be able to use.
