## Summary

The University of St Andrews has completed the procurement process for a project titled "Eden Campus - Dry Room Facility for ACMF Project", which falls under the goods category, specifically modular and portable buildings. The tender was initiated using an open procurement method and has been marked as complete. The contract, with a total value of £576,345, was signed on 14 January 2021, and is located in St Andrews, UK. The procurement demanded a dry room suitable for lithium- and sodium-ion battery production, requiring specific dimensions and environmental controls to ensure optimal operation.

This opportunity presents a significant potential for businesses involved in modular construction and clean room technology, particularly those with experience in delivering high-quality facilities for sensitive manufacturing processes. Companies focusing on battery technology, environmental control systems, and advanced materials processing would greatly benefit from engaging in such tenders. The emphasis on quality and innovative solutions in the award criteria indicates that suppliers capable of demonstrating expertise and reliability in similar projects are well-positioned to compete for future opportunities with the University of St Andrews and beyond.

## Notice

We require a dry room, capable of housing lithium- and sodium-ion battery production. The dry room will sit within a modular building. Required components: - Dry space with dimensions of at least 8 m x 12 m and 2.65 m height - Airlock with floor space of least 2 m x 2 m, this can be within the dry space footprint or adjoining and include a 'traffic-light' system to control entry to the dry space - A maximum dew point of -40degC, preferably -50oC - External equipment access door with dimensions of 2 m x 2 m - Number of People = 3 - Lighting level 600lux @ 1m

Dry Room Facility We require a dry room, capable of housing lithium- and sodium-ion battery production. The dry room will sit within a modular building. Required components: - Dry space with dimensions of at least 8 m x 12 m and 2.65 m height - Airlock with floor space of least 2 m x 2 m, this can be within the dry space footprint or adjoining and include a 'traffic-light' system to control entry to the dry space - A maximum dew point of -40degC, preferably -50oC - External equipment access door with dimensions of 2 m x 2 m - Number of People = 3 - Lighting level 600lux @ 1m Due to the moisture sensitivity of advanced battery chemistries, a high-quality dry room is vital. The dry room will enable the development of new battery chemistries and production methods. It is highly desirable that the dry room should reliably sustain an ultra-low dew point with an occupancy of up to three. The dry room should feature airlock access for personnel and portable equipment, providing a small area for staff to change into PPE. A cleanliness level in line with ISO7 would be desirable. We envisage the enclosure of the dry room inside a modular building. The dry room may also require to be relocated at a future point; therefore, this capability should be referenced in the tender submission. Portakabin recently installed such a building within the University of St Andrews. Prior experience to installation within modular buildings, including a willingness to work together with building contractors, would be advantageous. The dry room should be equipped to support an array of battery manufacturing equipment. We will require an external access door to install or remove equipment. The dry room should include services such as exhaust handling, suitable power outlets (up to 10 three phase outlets and regular 220 V power sockets), and compressed air and argon lines. You should consider these in your design and estimated cost, and we will confirm exact numbers and types during final specification.
