This procurement, classified under the hydraulic equipment category, is currently at the Tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 10 December 2021 at 14:00. The contract period is expected to commence on 4 January 2022 and conclude by 31 March 2022. The tender follows an open procurement method, with an estimated contract value of £100,000 and a minimum bid amount of £50,000, designated for delivery in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for suppliers of hydraulic equipment to engage in a major infrastructure project funded by the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. Businesses with expertise in producing high-quality hydraulic components and those capable of supporting innovative energy-related research in subsurface environments would be well-positioned to compete effectively. Engaging with such high-profile projects can enhance visibility and open doors for further collaboration within the growing energy sector. ## Notice NOTE: This notice was updated on 29 November 2021 for the following reason: Please note the closing date for this opportunity is now 10 December 2021 (14:00).(UKRI wishes to establish a Contract for the provision of four packer assemblies for the UK Geoenergy Observatories (UKGEOS) project. The UKGEOS project is a PS31m capital infrastructure project funded by the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), delivered by The British Geological Survey (BGS) on behalf of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC)/UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). The aim of the UKGEOS project is to build two world class subsurface research facilities, which will improve understanding of the response of the subsurface environment to energy transfer and storage. The first research site in Glasgow has been completed and is now operational and construction of the second observatory in Cheshire will commence in Summer 2022. This Invitation to Tender is for equipment to be used at the Cheshire Observatory. The objective of the Cheshire Observatory is to strengthen our understanding of the underground environment. The Observatory will provide scientists and innovators with flexible research facilities to test new technologies, to optimise system performance, and to investigate the long-term effect of temperature changes on the subsurface environment. It will be a unique science facility in the UK, comprising around 21 boreholes that will, over time, attract leading geologists, engineers and other scientists from across the world to undertake vital energy-related research.) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b21740c0-9c4f-4b1f-b690-f28bbc76789b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | 3 Dec 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Jan 2022 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | 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 | UK RESEARCH & INNOVATION | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Not specified | | Postcode | SN12 1FL | | Country | Not specified | | ITL 1 | Not specified | | ITL 2 | Not specified | | ITL 3 | Not specified | | Local authority | Not specified | | Electoral ward | Not specified | | Westminster constituency | Not specified | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 43 - Machinery for mining, quarrying, construction equipment ### Codes - 43328100 - Hydraulic equipment ## Release History - 29 Nov 2021 at 12:15 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b21740c0-9c4f-4b1f-b690-f28bbc76789b - 5 Nov 2021 at 11:20 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b21740c0-9c4f-4b1f-b690-f28bbc76789b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b21740c0-9c4f-4b1f-b690-f28bbc76789b 29th November 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Swindon:-UKRI-1780-Provision-of-Four-Packer-Assemblies/C78392Q7FP Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
