The procurement process is currently at the planning stage, with a tender deadline of 21st March 2023. The contract period will run from 2nd May 2023 to 1st May 2026. The procurement falls under the goods category and uses an open procedure. Businesses specialising in installation services of laboratory equipment may find this tender opportunity suitable.

This tender by the University of Exeter for a Plant Growth Room offers opportunities for businesses providing laboratory equipment installation services.

The contract period spans over three years, allowing for ongoing service and maintenance support, potentially leading to long-term business growth for successful bidders.

## Notice

We are seeking to procure a Plant Growth Room to be designed, delivered and installed at University of Exeter's Streatham Campus, in an existing laboratory. We also require ongoing service and maintenance support throughout the life of any subsequent contract. The Plant Growth Room must be almost air-tight so that it can be maintained at a very slight positive pressure with continuous inputs of air containing 13C labelled carbon dioxide, resulting in a slow leak out of the chamber into the surrounding laboratory. The room will be used to grow a range of plants/crops over long-time periods, such that crops, for example, can complete their full lifecycles. Our full technical requirements can be found in document 'UOE.2022.086.MB - Technical Specification'.
