This procurement falls under the category of goods, specifically laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, and is located at the Wallace building on Singleton Campus in Swansea. The procurement is carried out through an open method and relevant details can be accessed through the eTenderwales platform. The tender period will close on 6th February 2026, with the award expected by 27th February 2026. Interested parties are encouraged to register and submit their proposals via eTenderwales. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacture and supply of laboratory and scientific equipment, particularly specialists in cryogenic milling apparatuses. Companies with expertise in providing advanced analysis instruments and those capable of facilitating environmental and industrial sample preparations are particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this procurement could enable businesses to establish partnerships with a reputable educational institution like Swansea University, potentially opening doors to future collaborations in research and industrial applications. ## Notice This Cryomill required for group analysis of micro and nano polymers / elastomers by PY-GCMS and preparation of environmental / industrial NMP samples for analysis. The cryomill needs to embrittle and mill samples to a five um size facilitating PY-GCMS analysis.The cryomill also enables environmentally sourced macro plastic or tyre particles to be embrittled and milled to a predetermined micron size allowing NMP use in sorption experimentation. The use of environmentally sourced and aged NMP in sorption work is critical to understand the interactions of sorbents with sorbates facilitating successful environmental remediationThe cryomill to be located in the Wallace building on Singleton Campus.The requirement is for a cryomill with the ability to enable environmental plastic and tyre wear particle sample preparation for PY-GCMS analysis. The cryomill will also enable the size reduction of environmental plastic and tyre wear for use in sorption experimentation and post sorption Py-GCMS analysis to determine sorption efficacy.NOTE: The authority is using eTenderwales to carry out this procurement process.
