The deadline for submissions is 2nd August 2019, and successful services will commence from 3rd August 2019 until 28th February 2020. The project is open to a range of delivery locations, including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in engineering, specifically those involved in scientific and technical services related to fluid connection solutions. Particularly, companies with expertise in developing sealing technologies suitable for both liquid and inert gas applications would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises are encouraged to participate, as they can leverage their innovation capabilities in this niche market to secure growth through government procurements.

## Notice

The purpose of this tender is to select Consultant(s) to perform studies and report the remote connection solution(s) including the sealing technology which most closely satisfy the stated criteria and as a second part to identify and to price the development work to achieve or further develop the connection solutions. Solutions are required for two service fluids (a liquid and an inert gas) in a range of nominal pipe bores. The same solution is not necessarily required across the range of pipe diameters. There are two applications to be considered for the study (detailed in section 3 of the specification); a. for pipes carrying water. b. for pipes carrying inert gases
