## Summary

The University of Nottingham has initiated a tender for the "GeoEnergy Test Bed (GTB) Gas Supply and Support" project, focusing on industrial machinery within the East Midlands, United Kingdom. This open procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the tender period set to end on 5 September 2019. The total value of the contract is estimated at £200,000, and the contract period will commence on 1 October 2019, lasting until 9 August 2024. Interested parties can find more information and access detailed tender documents through the University's e-tendering portal.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in gas supply and related industrial services, particularly those capable of handling CO2 injection experiments in subsurface environments. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with relevant expertise in gas systems and geotechnical services would be well-suited to compete, especially those with experience in conducting detailed scientific experiments. The specified injection experiments may only occur twice a year, highlighting the need for proficient firms capable of executing complex technical contracts within the outlined timeframe.

## Notice

The University of Nottingham (UoN) together with the British Geological Survey (BGS) has established a GeoEnergy Test Bed. The partners want to commission a system to carry out a number of discreet injection experiments where up to 8 000 kg of CO2 will be injected at varying depths into the sub surface. 2 bore holes will be used separately for these experiments. One for shallow injection (14 m) and the other for deep injections (223 m). The maximum flow rate for the system will be 90kg/hour and each experiment may take a period of 4 to 5 days to complete. Experiments may be limited to two injections per year from 2020. More details available in the tender documents.
