This tender falls under the goods category and was initiated to support the Cardiff Catalysis Institute's move to new research laboratories. The procurement method is open, allowing a broad range of suppliers to participate. The tender submission period concluded on 25 February 2022, and the award decision was made on 4 March 2022. The award was officially signed on 18 March 2022, resulting in Uvison Technologies being selected as the supplier for this contract. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the manufacture and supply of hydrogen generators, particularly those with experience in research laboratory settings. Companies that have a strong background in providing safety-compliant hydrogen supply systems, including internal leak detection and automatic shutdown features, will find this tender particularly relevant. As Cardiff University phases out helium in favour of hydrogen as a carrier gas, suppliers in this niche market are well-positioned to fulfil the ongoing demand for high-quality hydrogen supply solutions. ## Notice IntroductionThe Cardiff Catalysis Institute (CCI) are in the process of moving to dedicated research laboratories that will be situated within the Cardiff University Translational Research Hub. Along with other analytical and material characterisation equipment, there will be a number (20+) Gas Chromatography instruments (GC's) equipped with Flame Ionised Detectors (FID's). as well as GC-MS, being moved to the facility. These will be situated across four floors (Level 0, 3, 4 & 5) and require a constant supply of pure H2 at approximately 5.5 bar to be used for carrier gas as well as detector gas. The University seeks to purchase four Hydrogen generators, one per floor, and encourages bids from suppliers that have experience of supplying Hydrogen Generators to research laboratories of a similar nature and have dedicated support in the UK.Scope of RequirementsWithin the existing laboratories CCI use a mixture of Hydrogen cylinders and Hydrogen Generators to supply FID's only. Due to safety, regarding the use of Hydrogen cylinders, Hydrogen will solely be supplied via. Hydrogen Generator's with internal leak detection and automatic shutdown. Also, with increasing cost and availability of Helium, which is currently predominately used as carrier gas, the CCI would like to phase out the use of Helium and use the supplied Hydrogen as carrier gas. Bidders should have relevant experience of supplying generators for this purpose. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=118283 | | Notice type | S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | 25 Feb 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 18 Mar 2022 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CARDIFF UNIVERSITY | | Locality | CARDIFF | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF24 0DE | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL52 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | | Local authority | Cardiff | | Electoral ward | Adamsdown | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff East | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | UVISON TECHNOLOGIES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 42 - Industrial machinery ### Codes - 31120000 - Generators - 42980000 - Gas generators ## Release History - 18 Mar 2022 at 16:26 - Award - S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=118283 - 3 Feb 2022 at 12:51 - Tender - S2W Notice - Website Invitation to Tender Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=118283 ## Notice URLs - http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/business/why-work-with-us/for-suppliers - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/cardiffuniversity/aspx/Home - https://www.uvison.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
