This procurement process involves a selective method, following a restricted procedure, and is currently active. The tender period ends on 21st June 2023, with the contract period set to start on 14th August 2023 and end on 31st August 2024. The procurement process aims to address the need for improved aerosol inlets on the UK research aircraft. Suppliers can access all necessary information via the University's procurement portal. This tender by The University of Manchester presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in aircraft equipment, repair, maintenance services, and associated parts for aircraft. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are considered suitable for this procurement process. Businesses located in the North West region of the United Kingdom, particularly those capable of providing innovative aerosol inlet designs, are encouraged to participate. The staged project will involve feasibility studies, design, production, and potentially training and installation support, providing avenues for business growth and collaboration. ## Notice The UK research aircraft, the FAAM BAe-146, does not offer ideal sampling for aerosol instrumentation via currently fitted inlet technologies. This is recognised as a barrier to being able to undertake the best possible aerosol measurements. It has been an imperative of the UK airborne aerosol community to improve the aerosol inlets on the FAAM BAe-146 aircraft. This staged project will assess the community need, design and manufacture the inlets, support installation and provide any training necessary. There will be a requirement to consider up to 3 different inlet designs, with the project board deciding which options and how many inlets will be supplied based on the recommendations and costs from potential suppliers. The project will be broken down into a series of work packages. WP1 will be a feasibility study, WP2 will be the design of Aerosol inlets and accessories, and WP3 will be the production. Additional WP can be added after the feasibility study, if required, such as training and supporting installation. WP2 and WP3 will only be awarded depending on the outcome of WP1; The University reserves the right to not award any WP after WP1. 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/58b623f0-6ed9-44fa-83fe-e7c44c52e636 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 May 2023 | | Submission deadline | 21 Jun 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 14 Aug 2023 - 31 Aug 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 - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 50 - Repair and maintenance services ### Codes - 34731000 - Parts for aircraft - 34741000 - Aircraft equipment - 50210000 - Repair, maintenance and associated services related to aircraft and other equipment - 50211100 - Aircraft maintenance services ## Release History - 19 May 2023 at 14:31 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/58b623f0-6ed9-44fa-83fe-e7c44c52e636 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/58b623f0-6ed9-44fa-83fe-e7c44c52e636 19th May 2023 - 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.
