This tender falls under the industry category of Laboratory, optical and precision equipment and is classified as a procurement for goods. The procurement is at the Tender stage, with submissions due by 27 February 2019. The contract period is expected to commence on 27 March 2019 and conclude on 26 July 2019. Interested parties can register for documentation through the provided links. This contract presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory and precision equipment, particularly those involved in advanced materials research and development. Given the emphasis on inert atmosphere processing and encapsulation, companies with expertise in innovative laboratory technologies or those capable of integrating advanced systems will find this a fitting opportunity to enhance their business portfolio. The procurement method is an open procedure, making it accessible for a wide range of suppliers to compete and potentially grow their market presence in the advanced materials sector. ## Notice Upgrade to Glove Box. The aim of the project is to provide capability for the rapid screening of functional materials based on their performance in fabricated devices. Critically, fabrication will be undertaken using inert atmosphere processing and encapsulation thus removing/minimising the deleterious effect of oxidation that when present typically compromises early-stage materials triage. The University of Manchester will be home to a new national research and innovation centre in advanced materials, the Henry Royce Institute (HRI). Announced by the Chancellor, George Osborne, in the 2014 autumn statement, the PS293M Institute will grow the UK's world-leading research base in advanced materials research and development, which is fundamental to all industrial sectors and the national economy. The new Institute, supported by industrial partners, will have its Hub in Manchester. The founding partners, comprise the Universities of Sheffield, Leeds, Liverpool, Cambridge, Oxford and Imperial College London, along with National Nuclear Labs (NNL) and the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE).
