## Summary

The University of Strathclyde has completed a procurement process for the supply, delivery, and commissioning of a Crystallisation Reactor, a key piece of laboratory equipment classified under the CPV code for laboratory, optical and precision equipment. This procurement, initiated under a limited negotiated procedure without prior publication, took place in Glasgow, UK. The contract was awarded on 30th May 2022, with a total contract value of £102,732. The procurement aims to enhance the University’s capabilities in solvent screening and process optimisation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced laboratory equipment, particularly those that can provide unique systems with patented technologies. Companies involved in the manufacturing and distribution of specialised laboratory instruments, notably those with expertise in crystallisation systems, would be well-suited to compete. The specific requirements of the University highlight the need for innovative solutions that meet unique technical criteria, suggesting that firms with a strong focus on research and development in this niche market may find substantial growth opportunities through similar contracts.

## Notice

The University intends to award a contract under the negotiated procedure without prior publication under the provisions of Regulation 33.b.iii of the prevailing legislation.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The University intends to award a contract under the negotiated procedure without prior publication under the provisions of regulation 33.1.b.iii. For the Crystallisation Systems that the University require, the firm Technobis Crystallisation Systems B.V have several patents granted for the Crystalline: The firm Technobis Crystallization System B.V. have several patents granted for the Crystalline: 1) WO2010082817, EP2376216; Stir system and a method for providing a chemical reaction. 2) WO2007035087, EP1934587; System and method for solubility curve and metastable zone determination.

Options: The Contracting Authority reserves the right to request additional deliveries by the Successful Tenderer, either intended as partial replacement of supplies or installations or as extensions of existing supplies and installations. The Contracting Authority may at it's sole discretion exercise this option.

### Procurement Information

The equipment to be procured must be a Crystallisation Reactor to expand our current capabilities in solvent screening and process optimisation. The system must have parallel reactors which can operate with independent temperature conditions and have a working volume of 1 - 10 mL per reactor. In-situ imaging for each reactor must be possible and fully integrated with each of the reactor conditions. A secondary indicator of particle dissolution/evolution in addition to imaging must also be available. The system must be software controlled with a highly user-friendly interface. That Technobis Crystallization Systems B.V. is the only global provider of the Crystalline, a turbidity measurement system with in-situ optics and Raman integration using small sample size. This unique technology to the market meets the following specifications: a) Ability to work with small sample volumes (2-5 mL). b) Contains 8 reactors in eight separate heating zones which can be controlled between -25 and 150 deg C. c) System is controlled by a unique software that allows easy measurements of solubility, crystallization and determination of the metastable zone width in precipitation/ crystallization processes. d) Ability to stir using overhead stirrer on small sample volumes (2-5mL) The identified system is evidenced to have a unique capability as evidenced by the following patents: 1) WO2010082817, EP2376216; Stir system and a method for providing a chemical reaction. 2) WO2007035087, EP1934587; System and method for solubility curve and metastable zone determination. The firm Technobis Crystallization Systems BV, established in Pyrietstraat 2, 1812 SC Alkmaar is the exclusive representative in the US of the products manufactured by Technobis Crystallization Systems BV, and is the only trained and competent company for the sale and support of such equipment in the United Kingdom.
