## Summary

The University of Strathclyde has initiated a tender process for the maintenance of two Star Chillers located in the John Anderson building and the Library in Glasgow, UK. This procurement is classified under services in the education sector, with an open procurement method allowing for competitive bidding. The tender is currently in the award stage, having been signed on 1st November 2018, with a total contract value of £53,354. For prospective suppliers, it is essential to meet the criteria outlined in the contract notice, including demonstrating relevant experience and holding necessary insurances, in order to qualify for consideration.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in cooling systems and maintenance services, particularly those with experience in high-precision environments such as laboratories. Companies that can demonstrate a proven track record in maintaining complex HVAC systems and possess the requisite technical qualifications would be well-suited to compete. The importance of this contract, given the critical role of temperature control for sensitive equipment, illustrates the potential for ongoing maintenance agreements in similar educational or research institutions.

## Notice

The University requires a supplier to maintain two Star Chillers located in the John Anderson building and the Library. The John Anderson has Laser Equipment valued in millions and a chiller failure will result in researchers being unable to work. The laser equipment and optics require very close temperature and humidity control and failure to keep within limits results in equipment going out of calibration or becoming damaged. The Star chillers serving the library are of very high importance particularly close to examination times when the library is very busy. The library has a very deep floor plan without opening windows. Failure of the chillers is likely to leave the building unfit for use.
