## Summary

The University of Bath is seeking tenders for the acquisition of a visible-light photoreactor, intended for use in flow photoredox chemistry at a decagram scale. This procurement, classified under the industry category of optical instruments, is currently in the tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 21 April 2020. The estimated contract value ranges between £25,000 and £50,000, and the delivery is expected to take place in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method has been classified as an open procedure.

This opportunity presents a valuable avenue for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in optical instruments or related technologies to expand their business.

## Notice

The University of Bath requires a visible-light photoreactor, equipped with high-power 420 nm LEDs, that is suitable for flow photoredox chemistry on (at least) a decagram scale. It will primarily be used to scale up photoredox-catalysed chemical reactions using organic photocatalysts (e.g., 4CzIPN). Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
