This procurement falls under the category of laboratory, optical and precision equipment and was classified within the CPV code 38000000, focusing on goods. The award process has been completed and the contract was signed on 2nd November 2021, with a contract value of £267,066. This procurement was conducted through a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, and the glove box will be delivered to the University's facility located in Manchester, UK. This opportunity presents a potential growth avenue for suppliers specializing in laboratory equipment, particularly those with expertise in handling radioactive materials and technical requirements for positive pressure environments. Businesses that manufacture precision laboratory apparatus or those with capabilities in custom engineering solutions are especially well-placed to compete. By meeting the specific operational standards required by the National Nuclear User Facility and demonstrating relevant technical competencies, interested suppliers may find favourable conditions for collaboration with a reputable educational institution like the University of Manchester. ## Notice The glove box is to be used with radioactive materials in a positive pressure environment and is required to be the same standard as other radioactive glove boxes on campus and at other NNUF member institutes to provide consistency of operation. The glove box will be designed to have a positive pressure environment; the unique feature is that there will be high through put of gas due to the need to provide it to the bespoke instrument housed within the glove box. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The glove box is to be used with radioactive materials in a positive pressure environment and is required to be the same standard as other radioactive glove boxes on campus and at other NNUF member institutes to provide consistency of operation.
