In plain English

Ceredigion County Council is buying a complete spray drying pilot plant for food processing research and development. The supplier must design, manufacture, deliver, install, commission and train operators on a multi-stage spray dryer with integrated fluidised bed equipment worth between £300,000 and £320,000.

What the buyer wants

• Design and manufacture a pilot-scale multi-stage spray dryer with integrated fluidised bed capable of simulating industrial processes • Deliver, install and commission the equipment at Food Centre Wales' Innovation and Manufacturing Hub • Conduct acceptance testing, provide operator training, full warranty support and all technical documentation • Ensure compliance with all UK legislation, safety requirements and food processing industry standards

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: This contract requires specialist manufacturing expertise in spray drying technology and pilot-scale food processing equipment; most small general trades and small manufacturers without specific experience in this sector will be unable to compete. The £300,000-£320,000 budget and turnkey scope requires significant technical capability and capital investment.
