This tender focuses on isotopic enrichment and localised synthesis of materials using advanced ion beam implantation and doping technologies. The initiative is scheduled to be integrated within the Henry Royce Institute under the Photon Science Institute. The procurement is categorised under Laboratory, Optical, and Precision Equipments, with additional classifications related to instruments for checking physical characteristics and optical instruments. Interested businesses must submit their applications by 3rd October 2024, with the contract expected to run from 3rd January 2025 to 3rd January 2026. The project is mainly funded through the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council grant application APP21442. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in advanced materials engineering and laboratory equipment manufacturing. Companies with expertise in nanoscale materials engineering, localised synthesis technologies, and optical instruments will find this highly relevant. The procurement follows an open procedure, making it accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), fostering innovation and allowing niche players to compete effectively. By engaging in this project, businesses can enhance their collaboration with leading research institutions, leveraging the potential for growth and technological advancements. ## Notice The Advanced Materials Enrichment and Synthesis (AMES) capability tendered for here will provide isotopic enrichment and localised synthesis of materials via high-dose focused ion beam implantation, alongside the doping of ion species into these materials with single-ion determinacy. Housed within the Photon Science Institute at the University of Manchester, the capability will be incorporated within the Henry Royce Institute as part of the existing Platform for Nanoscale Advanced Materials Engineering Facility. AMES is funded by the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council grant application APP21442 and the University of Manchester. Additional information: Information, formalities and necessary requirements to be met will be set out in the procurement documents, all of which are available via the University's procurement portal In-Tend - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/manchesteruniversity Funding Type (WEFO or EU) : UK Funding Description Engineering and Physical Science Research Council grant application APP21442 Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/878123e2-5f49-4307-8360-c13106f8cc22 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | 3 Oct 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 3 Jan 2025 - 3 Jan 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTER | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M13 9PL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Hulme | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Rusholme | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 38400000 - Instruments for checking physical characteristics - 38600000 - Optical instruments ## Release History - 3 Sep 2024 at 09:02 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/878123e2-5f49-4307-8360-c13106f8cc22 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/878123e2-5f49-4307-8360-c13106f8cc22 3rd September 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/manchesteruniversity/aspx/ Additional information on how to apply for this contract ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/manchesteruniversity ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
