## Summary

The University of Manchester is procuring a Dynamic Scanning Calorimeter for the Graphene Engineering and Innovation Centre (GEIC), part of a £60 million investment aimed at advancing research and innovation in graphene and related materials. This procurement process is currently in the award stage, with the contract period set to commence on 16th December 2016 and concluding on 21st March 2017. The tender was published on 24th November 2016, and the procurement method is categorised under goods, specifically focusing on instruments for checking physical characteristics. The GEIC is located at the North Campus of the University, postcode M13 9PL, and has been partly financed by the European Regional Development Fund as part of a wider initiative promoting research and innovation.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in scientific equipment manufacturing and supply, particularly those specialising in precision instruments. Suppliers with expertise in high-tech laboratory equipment, especially those focused on materials science, would be well-positioned to compete. Participation in this contract could enhance a supplier's visibility and reputation within innovative research sectors, particularly in collaboration with prominent academic institutions like the University of Manchester, which is expected to feature the procured equipment in high-profile publications and industry-led projects.

## Notice

The University has decided to purchase a Dynamic Scanning Calorimeter. The GEIC equipment fund is part financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) funds having been awarded under the 2014-2020 Priority Axis 1: Promoting Research and Innovation. The equipment is being purchased for the Graphene Engineering and Innovation Centre ("GEIC") at the University of Manchester. The GEIC is a PS60 million investment which will establish a state of the art research and technology development facility for graphene and related 2D materials. Projects in the GEIC will be industry-led and will focus on innovation and applications, with the aim of accelerating research through to products in the marketplace. The GEIC will house pilot production facilities and characterisation equipment. It will initially focus on a number of the University's world-class graphene application areas: energy, composites, formulations and coatings, electronics and membranes. Given the world leading graphene research at the University, it is expected that all the equipment in the GEIC will be cited in high profile academic publications as well as underpinning industrial collaboration projects, thus giving the equipment a high degree of exposure. The GEIC will be situated on the North Campus of The University of Manchester, comprise of ~8400 m2 and has been designed by world-renowned architect Rafael Vinoly. It is set to be open in summer 2018. Equipment purchased before the GEIC building is opened will be temporally commissioned elsewhere in the University campus, typically in the National Graphene Institute, and then moved into the GEIC once it is completed.
