This tender is a key component of the construction of the National Buried Infrastructure Facility (NBIF), a significant £27.6 million project aimed at enhancing research capabilities in the UK. The deadline for submission of tenders is 12th December 2018, and the contract is set to commence on 17th January 2019, concluding by 8th March 2019. The facility is located in Edgbaston, West Midlands, and the procurement falls under the goods category, specifically for machinery classified as front-end shovel loaders without backhoe. This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses engaged in the supply of construction machinery, particularly those specialising in equipment for excavation and material handling. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to compete, as the procurement process is designed to be accessible. Given the nature of the project, businesses that offer innovative solutions and have expertise related to construction equipment and logistics in research environments will be well-positioned to seize this opportunity. ## Notice Supply of a Telescopic Handler 'Telehandler' (Mini Tender) REFERENCE: SC6889/18 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 ?27.6M NBIF is part of the ?217M 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. A Telehandler is required for the following essential functions. 1) to load or distribute soils / sands / aggregate i. from an external storage silo onto a conveyor belt system, ii. to perform the above process in reverse, i.e. from the drop off conveyor belt system back onto a conveyor that re-fills the silos. iii. Approx. 400m3 of material (pit section dimensions of 8m x 5m x 10m). 2) to carry a mini-excavator and possibly a skid-steer within the research pit environment i. mini excavator/skid steer approx. 2400kg in weight ii. to enable a stable platform so the mini excavator may be lifted into the research pit by an overhead crane iii. the above process reversed to remove the mini-excavator from the pit. iv. A fork carried platform may be needed for the min-excavator to drive onto.
