Businesses with expertise in designing and supplying bespoke equipment for nuclear or high-risk material handling will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, given the specialized nature of the requirements.

## Notice

Our research group at The University of Manchester requires three glove boxes for the safe handling of gram and kilogram quantities of uranic material. These will form part of the capability for the Nuclear Fuel Centre of Excellence (NFCE), an academic facility developing new nuclear fuel materials. The boxes will house a limited amount of equipment for processing material, including a press, automated polisher and slow speed saw, and be capable of introducing new equipment in future as required.
