## Summary

Aberystwyth University is initiating a procurement process for a project titled "Market Sounding Phenomics," aimed at acquiring broad spectrum LED lighting appropriate for all stages of plant growth and various species. This procurement falls under the goods category and is currently in the Planning stage. Key details include the purchasing organisation located at the Student Welcome Centre, Penglais Campus, Aberystwyth, SY23 3FB, with a noteworthy emphasis on energy savings and reduced maintenance costs associated with the proposed LED lighting solution. For additional information, interested parties are encouraged to visit the Sell2Wales website.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the agricultural and horticultural sectors, particularly those specialising in lighting solutions or energy-efficient products. Companies that can provide innovative LED technology or have experience in agricultural lighting systems are particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging with this contract could not only lead to direct sales but also strengthen relationships with academic institutions looking for sustainable solutions in their operational processes.

## Notice

Our vision is to have broad spectrum LED lighting suitable for all stages of plant growth and of diverse plant species. Experimental throughput is expected to increase as from experience plants complete their lifecycle more rapidly under LED lights, with improved plant growth (especially during the winter). Changing to LED lights will reduce maintenance costs (HPS bulbs require replacement at 10k hours) and the current HPS fittings have expensive electronic ballasts which appear to have a limited life span. The energy saving associated with LED lighting is an important aspect to this replacement program.NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the Sell2Wales Web Site at https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=120891.
