## Summary

The University of Sheffield bought a wood dust extraction and local exhaust ventilation system for the pattern shop environment at the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) Castings site in Catcliffe, Rotherham. This is an industrial equipment supply requirement, with associated ventilation equipment, extraction ventilators, specialist machinery and ventilation installation work. The work is intended for a manufacturing and pattern-making setting, so relevant suppliers are those able to provide engineered dust extraction systems rather than general building ventilation alone. The requirement covers supply of the system and the associated equipment needed for operation in the pattern shop environment. Delivery and activity are in the Sheffield area, with the named AMRC site located at Brunel Way, Catcliffe, Rotherham.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete at tender level. It used a below-threshold route, with the procurement method recorded as unknown. The single lot was awarded to Vent-Tech Ltd. The award was made on 3 September 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 8 September 2026 to 7 December 2027. Its value is £91,797 excluding VAT, or £110,359.40 including VAT. The contract is active. The awarded requirement is classified as goods, covering the wood dust extraction and local exhaust ventilation system and related installation. The published outcome identifies Vent-Tech Ltd as the selected supplier for the full requirement.

This outcome identifies a buyer with a defined need for specialist dust extraction and local exhaust ventilation in an advanced manufacturing and pattern-shop environment. Suppliers well placed for a future equivalent requirement would combine industrial extraction equipment with ventilation system design, specialist machinery integration and installation capability. Experience in controlling wood dust in manufacturing workplaces would help demonstrate understanding of the operating environment, while the ability to deliver a complete system would be important where equipment supply and ventilation installation are linked. Competitors should be able to work with university or research-manufacturing facilities, coordinate site installation and provide equipment suited to specialist production settings. The award also shows that an SME supplier can meet this buyer’s requirement through a below-threshold procurement route.
