This procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with the closing date for bids set for 13th June 2019. The contract period is expected to begin on 15th July 2019 and conclude by 30th September 2019. Located in Manchester, North West England, this initiative falls under the goods category, specifically within the inkjet printer industry, and follows an open procurement method designed for contracts above the threshold. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in advanced printing technologies or providing equipment suitable for medical research. Companies that can offer specialised printers capable of creating both 2D and 3D functional devices, while ensuring environments conducive to good laboratory practices, will find themselves well-positioned to compete. This project aligns with the University of Manchester's establishment of the Sir Henry Royce Institute, enhancing the potential for innovative collaborations and technological advancements in the medical field. ## Notice The University of Manchester plans to purchase an Atmospheric Controlled Precision Multi-material drop on demand Ink-jet Printer adapted for medical research applications. The proposed equipment will be used for the development of functional devices for medical research. Projects will include 2D deposition of: biologically relevant materials onto a variety of substrates, living cells, sensor structures; and 3D printing of: scaffolds for cell attachment, structures for implantation into animal models, bioreactors. In order to achieve these objectives we require the capability to achieve the following requirements, either in isolation or in some combinations: a sterile environment, ability to control the relative humidity, ability to provide moisture free and oxygen free environments, be capable of providing a GLP (good laboratory practice) environment for medical device fabrication.
