The procurement process is currently at the open stage, with a tender deadline set for March 29, 2024. The contract period is scheduled to start on April 6, 2024, and end on December 31, 2024. The industry category for this procurement is laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. The delivery addresses are in the North West region of the United Kingdom. This tender from The University of Manchester presents an opportunity for businesses involved in the production and supply of laboratory equipment, detection and analysis apparatus, and instruments for checking physical characteristics. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly suited to compete in this tender. Suppliers should take note of the specific requirements outlined in the procurement documents available via the University's procurement portal to submit competitive bids in the open procedure. ## Notice The University of Manchester wishes to purchase controlled environment chambers, specifically gloveboxes, for handling air and moisture-sensitive materials in a controlled/inert environment and for fabricating and characterizing optoelectronic devices. The facility will promote innovation in sustainable electronics and showcase emerging manufacturing methods for the semiconductor industry. The facility will be housed within the Henry Royce Institute hub on the Manchester campus and provide support to academic partners and small to medium businesses in Greater Manchester and across the UK. The project aligns with the Royce Roadmap on Materials for Energy Transition and will introduce new technical capabilities to academic and industry partners in sustainable semiconductors, semiconductor manufacturing, optoelectronics, and advanced sensor technologies. The project aims to enable additional capability for developing sustainable optoelectronics and sensor technologies. The facility will enable material synthesis, device fabrication and comprehensive characterisation under chemically inert atmosphere conditions. Such stringent conditions are critical for removing/minimising the deleterious effect of oxidation and/or other unwanted chemical reactions, which typically compromise early-stage materials and device triage. Additional information: Information, formalities and necessary requirements to be met will be set out in the procurement documents, all of which are available via the University's procurement portal In-Tend - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/manchesteruniversity Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cc545e17-466b-4c3b-9065-59af8d520e9f | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Mar 2024 | | Submission deadline | 29 Mar 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 6 Apr 2024 - 31 Dec 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTER | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M13 9PL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Hulme | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Rusholme | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 38400000 - Instruments for checking physical characteristics - 38430000 - Detection and analysis apparatus - 38900000 - Miscellaneous evaluation or testing instruments ## Release History - 7 Mar 2024 at 14:43 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cc545e17-466b-4c3b-9065-59af8d520e9f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cc545e17-466b-4c3b-9065-59af8d520e9f 7th March 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/manchesteruniversity/aspx/ Additional information on how to apply for this contract ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/manchesteruniversity ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
