## Summary

Aston University, located in Birmingham, United Kingdom, conducted a public procurement process to acquire a high pressure/high temperature bench top lab reactor pressure vessel system. This procurement falls under the industry category of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. The contracting process was initiated as a tender and subsequently reached the award stage. The procurement was completed with a limited competition method, considered below threshold, and the contract was awarded to SCIMED Ltd on 23rd April 2026, with the contracts remaining active as of the following day, 24th April 2026.
