The planned procurement notice aims to enter into a Research Collaboration Agreement with a contractor for the evaluation of technologies in this field. The tender is currently at the planning stage, with the future notice date set for 29th September 2022. This tender opportunity by the University of the Highlands and Islands can benefit businesses with expertise in antimicrobial coatings, especially those involved in research and development, healthcare product manufacturing, and technology innovation. Companies with capabilities in producing antimicrobial coatings through physical vapour deposition (PVD) processes and a keen interest in collaboration for healthcare applications would be well-suited to compete for this opportunity. The Research Collaboration Agreement offers a platform for businesses to contribute their expertise in developing specifications and innovative solutions in antimicrobial technology within the healthcare sector. ## Notice The University wishes to enter into a Research Collaboration Agreement with a Contractor. The subject of the Research Project is the evaluation of technologies for the production of adherent, hard, inorganic antimicrobial coatings. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Contractor must have an existing process in development which can produce antimicrobial coatings on surfaces by physical vapour deposition (PVD). The Contractor shall participate in a collaboration between The University and The Contractor to participate in the construction of apparatus to replicate the developed process and site this at The University. The coatings will be applied primarily, but not exclusively, to healthcare products such as surgical instruments and implants. The successful applicant (The Contractor) will work with The University under the terms of an agreed Research Collaboration Agreement.. The University welcome input from Contractors with regard to the development of the specification for this requirement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP459124 | | Notice type | OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Sep 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 29 Sep 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | 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 | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF THE HIGHLANDS AND ISLANDS | | Locality | INVERNESS | | Post town | Inverness | | Postcode | IV3 5SQ | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM2 Highlands and Islands | | ITL 3 | TLM20 Highlands and Islands | | Local authority | Highland | | Electoral ward | Inverness West | | Westminster constituency | Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire | | Delivery location | TLM62 Inverness and Nairn, Moray, and Badenoch and Strathspey | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 24 - Chemical products - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 24310000 - Basic inorganic chemicals - 38434540 - Biomedical equipment - 44113330 - Coating materials - 45442000 - Application work of protective coatings - 71900000 - Laboratory services - 73110000 - Research services - 73111000 - Research laboratory services ## Release History - 15 Sep 2022 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP459124 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP459124 Provision of Research Collaboration Project to investigate highly antimicrobial inorganic coatings for infection control - The University wishes to enter into a Research Collaboration Agreement with a Contractor.
