This procurement, classified under the education sector, is located in Aberdeen, UK. The open procedure allows for submissions electronically, with the bidding period closing on 18 January 2022 at 12:00 PM. The project aims to create a mobile downhole testing facility for evaluating new plug materials for well-abandonment, addressing the need for validation of alternative plugging technologies. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in engineering, construction, and installation within the goods procurement category. Companies that specialise in creating testing facilities, particularly those with experience in decommissioning projects or in developing validation frameworks, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Additionally, businesses capable of fulfilling the contract period of up to 540 days, with possible maintenance renewals for up to five years, could find long-term benefits by engaging in this project. ## Notice The National Decommissioning Centre at the University of Aberdeen has identified that there is a need for a downhole testing facility with the primary purpose of evaluating the behaviour of new plug materials for well-abandonment. Existing and emerging alternative plugging technologies require a framework for validation and verification.
