This contract pertains to the repair and maintenance services of critical systems used to abate highly toxic waste gases. The procurement process was conducted via a limited method, without prior publication, and is currently in the award stage. The contract was signed on 13th July 2022 and is valued at £200,000, covering a servicing duration from December 2022 to 2026. The work will take place at the University of Sheffield, located in Sheffield, UK, and involves servicing 16 specific systems designed by CS Clean Systems (UK) Ltd. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the environmental services sector, particularly those specialising in maintenance and servicing of advanced waste gas abatement technologies. Companies with expertise in chemisorber technology and experience in servicing high-tech systems would be well-suited to compete. The long-term nature of the contract allows potential suppliers to establish a lasting relationship with the University of Sheffield, enhancing their portfolio and fostering business growth in a niche market. ## Notice The Nanosciences Clean Room houses 16 systems for the abatement of highly toxic waste gases from MOVPE, MBE, etching and ICP exhaust streams. These systems are safety critical and must be frequently maintained to operate at the required efficiency. All of the systems were designed, manufactured and supplied by CS CLEAN SOLUTIONS (CS). CS uses advanced chemisorber technology to design waste gas abatement systems. Their 'CLEANSORB' dry absorber systems consume neither electricity, water, nor fuel. Moreover, there is no contamination of water resources due to discharge of contaminated waste water, a major benefit in terms of reducing the waste streams of the Nanosciences facility. CLEANSORB granulate converts hazardous gases into stable inorganic salts at ambient temperature. CLEANSORB granulate contained within bespoke cylinders binds several thousand litres of hazardous gas into safe, solid by-products. Used CLEANSORB columns are not discarded, but refilled with fresh absorbent with minimal generation of waste material, using a proprietary remanufacturing procedure. The proposed contract will provide replacement cylinders, equipment servicing, and recommissioning for all 16 systems over a 5 year period from December 2022 to 2026. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The 16 systems to be serviced over the 5 year contract period are listed below. 1) CP350S Clean-Protect 2) CS-025-SA RiE Etch 3) CS-025-SA ICP Etch 4) CS-025-SA PECVD Etch 5) CS-025-SA MBE Etch 6) CS-025-SA Wet Etch 7) CS-025-SA ICP GaN Etch 8) Cleanvent SiHCL3 (1) 9) Cleanvent SiHCL3 (2) 10) Cleanvent SiHCL3 (3) 11) Cleanvent SiHCL3 (4) 12) Cleanvent SiHCL3 (5) 13) Cleanvent SiHCL3 (6) 14) CC0200SA MOVPE (C1) 15) CC0200SA MOVPE (C2) 16) CS200PS The servicing tasks will include replenishment of absorption media, fitting consumables such as seals, etc., disposal of exhausted media, service and calibration of equipment, pressure testing and recommissioning to functional state of all of the above CS systems. ### Procurement Information Regulation 32 is being applied as in 32(2) (b)....
