The procurement falls under the industry category of laboratory services and is located in Inverness, United Kingdom. The procurement method is an open procedure, and originally, the deadline for receipt of tenders was set for 1 June 2022, but this was subsequently amended to 6 June 2022 due to changes in project requirements. Although the project is currently marked as cancelled, it had previously entailed a comprehensive evaluation of technologies intended primarily for applications in healthcare products, such as surgical instruments and implants. This tender presents opportunities for businesses focused on innovative laboratory services, especially those specialised in coatings technology, biomedical equipment, and research services. Companies that can demonstrate robust processes in antimicrobial treatments and have capabilities in quality management and assurance stand to benefit the most. The collaboration could lead to further engagements in health-related projects and grants, particularly for organisations with experience working alongside public educational institutions and those familiar with the regulatory frameworks of the European Regional Development Fund. ## Notice The University wishes to invite tenders to supply and work with The University in a Research Collaboration Project. The subject of the Project is the evaluation of technologies for the production of adherent, hard, inorganic antimicrobial coatings. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The University wishes to invite tenders to supply and work with The University in a Research Collaboration Project. The subject of the Project is the evaluation of technologies for the production of adherent, hard, inorganic antimicrobial coatings. The Research Collaboration Project will be guided by a Research Collaboration Agreement. The Research Collaboration Agreement will be added to the University of the Highlands and Islands' Terms and Conditions of Contract. The coatings will be applied primarily, but not exclusively, to healthcare products such as surgical instruments and implants. The successful applicant (The Contractor) will work with The University under the terms of an agreed Research Collaboration Agreement. Additional information: This requirement is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund, European Structural and Investment Funds 2014-2020 Programme Scotland.
