Dry Room Facility
We require a dry room, capable of housing lithium- and sodium-ion battery production. The dry room will sit within a modular building.
Required components:
- Dry space with dimensions of at least 8 m x 12 m and 2.65 m height
- Airlock with floor space of least 2 m x 2 m, this can be within the dry space footprint or adjoining and include a ‘traffic-light’ system to control entry to the dry space
- A maximum dew point of -40°C, preferably -50oC
- External equipment access door with dimensions of 2 m x 2 m
- Number of People = 3
- Lighting level 600lux @ 1m
Due to the moisture sensitivity of advanced battery chemistries, a high-quality dry room is vital. The dry room will enable the development of new battery chemistries and production methods. It is highly desirable that the dry room should reliably sustain an ultra-low dew point with an occupancy of up to three. The dry room should feature airlock access for personnel and portable equipment, providing a small area for staff to change into PPE. A cleanliness level in line with ISO7 would be desirable.
We envisage the enclosure of the dry room inside a modular building. The dry room may also require to be relocated at a future point; therefore, this capability should be referenced in the tender submission. Portakabin recently installed such a building within the University of St Andrews. Prior experience to installation within modular buildings, including a willingness to work together with building contractors, would be advantageous.
The dry room should be equipped to support an array of battery manufacturing equipment. We will require an external access door to install or remove equipment. The dry room should include services such as exhaust handling, suitable power outlets (up to 10 three phase outlets and regular 220 V power sockets), and compressed air and argon lines. You should consider these in your design and estimated cost, and we will confirm exact numbers and types during final specification.

Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures
Anyone bringing court proceedings against the University of St Andrews must inform the University of St Andrews in advance of the alleged breach and its intention to bring proceedings. Any such action must be brought within 15 days of the date on which a decision is sent to them or published to challenge that decision.
Proceedings seeking an ineffectiveness order must be brought within 30 days of the publication of the contract award notice in the OJEU, or 30 days from the date of a decision letter to all tenderers concerned, and any candidates concerned, containing a summary of the reason for the recipient being unsuccessful, otherwise 6 months from the date of entering into the contract or concluding the framework agreement.
Where a contract has not been entered into the Court may, by interim order, suspend the procurement procedure. The court may also set aside a decision or actions taken by the University or order it to amend and document; and/or award damages. However, by express requirement the court may decide not to grant an interim order when the negative consequences of such an order are likely to outweigh the benefits, having regard to a number of considerations.
If the contract has been entered into the Court may, depending on the nature of the breach: make an ineffectiveness order; impose a financial penalty; shorten the duration of the contract; make any other order considered appropriate to address the consequences of ineffectiveness or shortening the duration or the contract; award damages.
