Description

This Contract Notice is for the tender opportunity to appoint a sole supplier to provide the Continuous Manufacturing and Crystallisation centre (CMAC) with a 5 stage Mixed-Suspension, Mixed-Product-Removal (MSMPR) system to operate in their existing world class research facility in the Technology and Innovation Centre at the University of Strathclyde. As a research centre focusing on delivering high impact industrially relevant research with a broad portfolio of funding streams from government funded research through pre-competitive and confidential projects, CMAC require a new MSMPR to enhance their capability and continue to drive their Quality by Digital design initiative.

Total Quantity or Scope

The University, on behalf of CMAC, are looking to procure a 5-stage MSMPR. CMAC is looking for a new 5-stage MSMPR capable of automated external PC monitoring and control with capability to interface to advanced process control (APC) systems. The system should be able to run "lights out" without manual intervention and have suitable safety and monitoring systems to enable this. Each vessel should have at least one port for process analytical technique (PAT) probe with baffles (or equivalent), heated jackets and transfer lines. A slurry transfer system between vessel should be provided with flexibility in transfer frequency and volume ideally. Feed pumps and lines should ideally have mass flow measurement implemented and be heated. Target total flow rates of 5-200g/minute. Although the system is intended primarily for crystallisation, it must also be capable of chemical reactions.

Renewal Options

The Contracting Authority reserves the right to request additional services from the successful Tenderer, either intended extension of existing services or in replacement of existing services. The Contracting Authority may at its sole discretion exercise this option.
