## Summary

Coventry University has recently completed a direct procurement process for a clean furnace, tailored to support their Clean Futures Programme. This initiative is aimed at assisting SME foundries to transition towards clean, energy-efficient technologies. The furnace was acquired from Shandong Kehua Intelligent Equipment Co Ltd, a leading supplier recognised for their expertise in this domain. The procurement was conducted below threshold without competition, ensuring a focused delivery approach, with critical deadlines set for full installation and operational testing by February 2026. The equipment will facilitate trials and be available for long-term use in regional clean manufacturing and decarbonisation efforts, culminating in March 2026.

This procurement opens notable opportunities for businesses in the clean energy and manufacturing sectors, presenting avenues for participation in trials and post-programme industrial engagement. Firms specialising in the transition from fossil-fuel-based technologies to clean methods can enhance their visibility and establish collaborations with Coventry University. SMEs involved in manufacturing, particularly those with innovative solutions for clean technologies, are well-positioned to benefit from the programme. Larger enterprises with capabilities in providing specialised equipment or installation services, like Shandong Kehua, can leverage this partnership to drive growth in clean technology adoption within the UK market.
