Legal Justification

Supply of bulk liquid CO2 on a 3 year contract supply basis. Ability to fix a competitive price is essential including fixed rate of indexation (not subject to inflationary or force majeure price increases) for affordability reasons for a strategic research project with a finite budget. Need to be able to guarantee supply of 6,000 tonnes per annum in the differing monthly supply volumes required by the project. Also includes a PhD Scholarship fund to apply and translate science and engineering research which will ensure further sustainable outcomes from the project. The requirement includes the supply of food grade Liquid CO2, via tanker to the BIFoR FACE facility in the West Midlands. Transport deliveries will be scheduled to meet demand whilst utilising remote monitoring of the storage facility at BIFoR FACE. Access will be required 24 hrs per day, 7 days per week.
