## Summary

Swansea University is currently conducting a public procurement process titled "Framework Agreement for Laboratory Chemicals" under the ACCELERATE project, aimed at enhancing health and care technology. This procurement covers 14 lots related to chemical products, which are all classified under the CPV code 24000000. The procurement stage is open with key deadlines, including a tender submission deadline of 25th March 2021. The overall value of this procurement initiative is estimated at £500,000 and seeks to provide goods for the Swansea University Medical School located in Swansea, UK, with the initial contract period lasting 13 months, from April 2021 to April 2022, and an option for an 11-month extension until March 2023.

This framework agreement presents significant opportunities for businesses within the chemical products and medical consumables sectors, particularly those interested in supplying to educational and research institutions.
