This initiative is part of the development of the National Buried Infrastructure Facility (NBIF), a significant research facility located in Edgbaston, West Midlands, aimed at enhancing infrastructure investigation capabilities. The tender is classified under the goods category, specifically mechanical excavators, and follows an open procurement method with a deadline for submissions set for 12th December 2018 at 23:59:59. The contract is anticipated to commence on 17th January 2019 and conclude by 8th February 2019. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in manufacturing or supplying mechanical excavation equipment, especially those experienced in meeting UK standards for mobile elevated work platforms. Companies keen to expand their business in the construction or research sectors may find this contract particularly suited to their capabilities, enabling them to engage with a prestigious academic institution and enhance their expertise in infrastructure-related projects. ## Notice SUPPLY OF A TELESCOPIC WORK PLATFORM 'BOOM LIFT' (Mini Tender) The University of Birmingham is constructing a brand new state-of-the-art National Buried Infrastructure Facility (NBIF) - an experimental research facility for the investigation of Buried Infrastructure, expected completion early 2019. The PS27.6M NBIF is part of the PS217M UK Collaboratorium for Research on Infrastructure and Cities (UKCRIC) that will form a co-ordinated set of interlinked national laboratories. Further details can be found at http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/research/activity/ukcric/national-buried-infrastructure-facility.aspx. The Telescopic Work Platform is required primarily to enable staff to configure research equipment at height (e.g. on the framework of the pit). This requires the lifting of people (with appropriate conformance to UK Health and Safety) with some equipment vertically up to a height of approximately 5 metres, up to a reach of approximately 5 meters. The equipment must conform to the appropriate UK standards (e.g. EN280 for Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs)). Additional information: All main correspondence should go via the University's In-Tend website.
