## Summary

The University of Northumbria at Newcastle, serving as the buying organisation, has completed the procurement process for the refurbishment of the Ellison Building laboratory. This project was focused on the acquisition of high-quality, durable scientific equipment necessary for the transformation of the fourth floor into state-of-the-art laboratories covering various scientific disciplines. The procurement falls under the industry category of 'Refrigerating and Freezing Equipment' with an associated contract value of £88,661. The refurbishment is located in the North East region of the United Kingdom. The award phase, completed on 13th August 2025, names SciQuip Limited as the supplier following a competitive tender process. The contract period extends from 13th August 2025 to 12th November 2025.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for suppliers in the field of scientific equipment. Companies that specialise in innovative refrigeration and freezing technologies would have found this tender particularly appealing. While the current process is complete, understanding the needs of universities in conducting research could lead to future opportunities. Collaborative and large-scale suppliers who can offer bespoke solutions will remain well-positioned to compete for similar tenders in the academic and research sector, which frequently demands specialised and durable scientific apparatus.

## Notice

The fourth floor of Ellison Building at Northumbria University is undergoing a significant refurbishment to enhance the facilities. As part of this project, we are restructuring the current layout to establish new laboratories dedicated to the Physics, Geography, and Mechanical Engineering departments within the Faculty of Environment and Engineering. The future state of this area will include specialized laboratories such as a specialized hydrofluoric acid laboratory, a new nanoparticle laboratory, wet chemistry and ecology labs (six laboratories in total). This tender is for a number of high-quality, durable scientific equipment to complete the refurbishment project.
