Value
£150,000
Closes

Swansea, Wales
Type
Open tender

In plain English

Swansea University wants to buy a complete, ready-to-use monitoring system that uses infrared light (FTIR) to measure how well the gas abatement equipment at its semiconductor research centre destroys harmful process gases. The existing abatement system is not monitored, and a new one is being installed, so the system will also compare the performance of the two. The contract is conditional on external funding from the Welsh Government SMART Capital scheme being approved.

What the buyer wants

• Supply, install and commission a complete FTIR gas monitoring system at the university's Bay Campus facility, with delivery included in the price. • Provide a service and support contract for the system after installation, within the total budget of £150,000 excluding VAT. • Demonstrate the system can measure destruction or removal efficiency on both the existing and new abatement systems, and supply training and documentation for the research team.

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

Most small businesses would be disqualified by the lack of specialist FTIR gas analysis expertise and the ability to deliver and support a turnkey analytical system of this kind, combined with the risk that the contract may not proceed if the funding is not approved.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
