This procurement, classified under the CPV code for laboratory and precision equipment, is based in Sheffield, England, and invites suppliers to submit tenders for one or more of three specific lots, including renewable energy conversion and pharmaceutical manufacturing. The deadline for the return of Pre-qualification Questionnaires (PQQ) is set for Monday, 4th April 2016, with the overall contract period running from 29th July 2016 to 29th July 2021. This is a selective procurement process involving negotiation, with a minimum contract value estimated at £2.5 million and total anticipated value at £3 million. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the areas of chemical product engineering and industrial machinery. Companies specialising in renewable energy solutions, pharmaceutical manufacturing, or industrial control systems would be particularly well-suited to compete, as the project aims to address key challenges such as sustainable energy and advanced manufacturing processes. Engaging with this tender could facilitate growth through collaboration with a prestigious institution and advancement in high-value sectors like biotechnology and clean fuels. ## Notice The University of Sheffield is out to tender on behalf of the Faculty of Engineering - Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, for a Chemical Pilot Plant. The closing date for return of Pre-qualification Questionnaires is Monday 4th April 2016 at 12 noon (GMT) The Diamond Pilot Plant (DiPP) will be the cornerstone for the education of The Sheffield Chemical Engineer. Future engineers will use, test and explore integrated processes with state of the art simulations and world class control systems in a safe, product oriented environment. They will develop as engineers immersed in physical and virtual systems that address some of the key grand challenges of this century: Energy and climate change, affordable medicines, and bioengineered products. Chemical Product Engineering: Traditionally chemical engineers are process engineers. 21th century chemical engineers need to be both product and process engineers who develop new products, as well as design the processes that manufacture them. DiPP is a unique learning environment for product as well as process engineering, where students learn to develop, characterize and reverse engineer new products for high value manufacturing, biotechnology, and clean fuels. Lot 1- Power to X pilot plant to convert renewable energy to environmentally friendly diesel fuel Lot 2 - High value manufacturing - continuous manufacture of pharmaceutical solid oral dosage forms Lot 3 - Industrial Control room Suppliers are invited to submit tenders for one or multiple Lots. The technical specifications can be found in the tender documentation which will be sent to you once you have expressed your interest. This tender is being conducted under the Competitive Process with Negotiation. Suppliers should first complete and submit the PQQ, and refer to the draft ITN stage and accompanying documents, which provide the detailed specifications required.
