Contracting Authority Details\nName: University of Sussex\nAddress: Sussex House, Falmer, Brighton, BN1 9RH\nContact Point: Claire Hutchinson\n________________________________________\n2. Description of Intended Procurement\nTitle: Cage and rack washer for the Biomedical Research Facility (BRF).\nEstimated Value: Approx. £423,502 (inclusive of VAT)\nProcurement Type: Supply, installation, and commissioning of laboratory equipment\nCPV Code(s): 38434540 - Biomedical Equipment Additional CPV Code 42920000 - Industrial Cleaning Machinery\n________________________________________\n3. Purpose of the Engagement\nThe University of Sussex is undertaking preliminary market engagement to better understand the availability of equipment solutions that can meet a specific set of technical and structural constraints within our Biomedical Research Facility.\nWe are particularly interested in cage and rack washers capable of operating within a 100mm maximum pit depth, due to the presence of significant structural constraints that preclude deeper pit depths and structural alterations.\nThis notice is issued to:\n•\tSeek information from suppliers about their capability to meet these requirements.\n•\tUnderstand any technical or commercial developments in the market that may affect the procurement approach.\n•\tAssess whether a competitive process remains viable or whether the technical constraints may lead to a compliant direct award.\n________________________________________\n4. Market Engagement Format\nInterested suppliers are invited to respond in writing to the questions set out in Section 6 below. Responses may be followed up with clarification calls or site visits if required.\nThis is not a call for competition. Participation in this engagement is voluntary and will not affect the supplier's ability to participate in any future procurement.\n________________________________________\n5. Background Information\nThe BRF is a live, regulated facility with significant architectural constraints. A structural engineering investigation has confirmed that modifying the pit depth (currently 100mm) would require substantial and disruptive structural interventions. We are therefore exploring whether compliant cage and rack washers exist that function fully within this constraint.\n________________________________________\n6. Information Requested from Suppliers\nPlease respond to the following:\n1.\tDo you offer a cage and rack washer capable of operating within a maximum 100mm pit depth?\n2.\tWhat are the design, manufacturing, installation, weight and maintenance requirements for your solution?\n3.\tHave you supplied similar solutions in constrained laboratory or animal research environments?\n4.\tCan your equipment design be modified to meet unique spatial constraints?\n5.\tAre you aware of any comparable installations in the UK or EU where pit depth has been a limiting factor?\nPlease include relevant brochures, technical drawings, and references as appropriate.\n________________________________________\n7. Timeline for Responses\nResponses should be submitted by: 10th July \nSend responses to: FinanceServiceDesk@sussex.ac.uk\n________________________________________\n8. Confidentiality and Further Engagement\nAll information shared during this process will be treated in confidence and used solely to inform the University's procurement strategy. A formal procurement notice will be issued in due course if a competitive procedure is pursued.\n________________________________________\n9. Disclaimer\nThis notice does not constitute a commitment to any future procurement process. The University reserves the right to revise its requirements and/or proceed via direct award where lawful grounds (e.g., Regulation 41 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2023) can be robustly demonstrated.", "dueDate": "2025-07-10T23:59:59+01:00", "status": "scheduled" } ], "documents": [ { "id": "035280-2025", "documentType": "marketEngagementNotice", "noticeType": "UK2", "description": "Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender", "url": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/035280-2025", "datePublished": "2025-06-26T09:51:11+01:00", "format": "text/html" } ] }, "tender": { "id": "US_25259", "legalBasis": { "id": "2023/54", "scheme": "UKPGA", "uri": "https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents" }, "title": "Procurement of Rack Washer for Constrained Laboratory Environment - Preliminary Market Engagement", "description": "The University of Sussex is undertaking preliminary market engagement to better understand the availability of equipment solutions that can meet a specific set of technical and structural constraints within our Biomedical Research Facility.\nWe are particularly interested in cage and rack washers capable of operating within a 100mm maximum pit depth, due to the presence of significant structural constraints that preclude deeper pit depths and structural alterations.\nThis notice is issued to:\n•\tSeek information from suppliers about their capability to meet these requirements.\n•\tUnderstand any technical or commercial developments in the market that may affect the procurement approach.\n•\tAssess whether a competitive process remains viable or whether the technical constraints may lead to a compliant direct award.", "items": [ { "id": "1", "additionalClassifications": [ { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "38434540", "description": "Biomedical equipment" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "42990000", "description": "Miscellaneous special-purpose machinery" } ], "deliveryAddresses": [ { "region": "UKJ", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom" } ], "relatedLot": "1" } ], "value": { "amountGross": 510000, "amount": 425000, "currency": "GBP" }, "mainProcurementCategory": "goods", "aboveThreshold": true, "lots": [ { "id": "1", "suitability": { "sme": true, "vcse": true }, "contractPeriod": { "startDate": "2025-10-01T00:00:00+01:00", "endDate": "2028-09-30T23:59:59+01:00" }, "status": "planning" } ], "status": "planning" }, "language": "en", "extensions": [ "https://standard.open-contracting.org/profiles/eu/latest/en/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_amendment_rationale_classifications_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_budget_breakdown_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_contract_completion_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_documentation_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_pagination_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_suitability_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/portaledcahn/ocds_Links_extension/main/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cabinetoffice/ocds_uk_extension/main/extension.json" ] }, { "id": "098133-2026", "tag": [ "tender" ], "date": "2026-10-16T15:53:48+01:00", "initiationType": "tender", "ocid": "ocds-h6vhtk-0553e2", "parties": [ { "name": "UNIVERSITY OF SUSSEX (THE)", "id": "GB-COH-RC000672", "identifier": { "scheme": "GB-COH", "id": "RC000672" }, "additionalIdentifiers": [ { "scheme": "GB-PPON", "id": "PWVT-1568-HWWM" } ], "address": { "streetAddress": "Sussex House", "locality": "Falmer, Brighton", "postalCode": "BN1 9RH", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom", "region": "UKJ21" }, "contactPoint": { "email": "n.m.gillespie@sussex.ac.uk" }, "roles": [ "buyer" ], "details": { "url": "http://www.sussex.ac.uk", "classifications": [ { "scheme": "UK_CA_TYPE", "id": "publicAuthoritySubCentralGovernment", "description": "Public authority - sub-central government" } ] } } ], "buyer": { "id": "GB-COH-RC000672", "name": "UNIVERSITY OF SUSSEX (THE)" }, "tender": { "id": "US_25259", "legalBasis": { "id": "2023/54", "scheme": "UKPGA", "uri": "https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents" }, "title": "Life Sciences Equipment - Cagewash, IVC and Decontamination", "description": "This opportunity is for supply and installation of life sciences decontamination equipment, IVCs, racks and related goods at The University of Sussex.

Contracting Authority Details\nName: University of Sussex\nAddress: Sussex House, Falmer, Brighton, BN1 9RH\nContact Point: Claire Hutchinson\n________________________________________\n2. Description of Intended Procurement\nTitle: Cage and rack washer for the Biomedical Research Facility (BRF).\nEstimated Value: Approx. £423,502 (inclusive of VAT)\nProcurement Type: Supply, installation, and commissioning of laboratory equipment\nCPV Code(s): 38434540 - Biomedical Equipment Additional CPV Code 42920000 - Industrial Cleaning Machinery\n________________________________________\n3. Purpose of the Engagement\nThe University of Sussex is undertaking preliminary market engagement to better understand the availability of equipment solutions that can meet a specific set of technical and structural constraints within our Biomedical Research Facility.\nWe are particularly interested in cage and rack washers capable of operating within a 100mm maximum pit depth, due to the presence of significant structural constraints that preclude deeper pit depths and structural alterations.\nThis notice is issued to:\n•\tSeek information from suppliers about their capability to meet these requirements.\n•\tUnderstand any technical or commercial developments in the market that may affect the procurement approach.\n•\tAssess whether a competitive process remains viable or whether the technical constraints may lead to a compliant direct award.\n________________________________________\n4. Market Engagement Format\nInterested suppliers are invited to respond in writing to the questions set out in Section 6 below. Responses may be followed up with clarification calls or site visits if required.\nThis is not a call for competition. Participation in this engagement is voluntary and will not affect the supplier's ability to participate in any future procurement.\n________________________________________\n5. Background Information\nThe BRF is a live, regulated facility with significant architectural constraints. A structural engineering investigation has confirmed that modifying the pit depth (currently 100mm) would require substantial and disruptive structural interventions. We are therefore exploring whether compliant cage and rack washers exist that function fully within this constraint.\n________________________________________\n6. Information Requested from Suppliers\nPlease respond to the following:\n1.\tDo you offer a cage and rack washer capable of operating within a maximum 100mm pit depth?\n2.\tWhat are the design, manufacturing, installation, weight and maintenance requirements for your solution?\n3.\tHave you supplied similar solutions in constrained laboratory or animal research environments?\n4.\tCan your equipment design be modified to meet unique spatial constraints?\n5.\tAre you aware of any comparable installations in the UK or EU where pit depth has been a limiting factor?\nPlease include relevant brochures, technical drawings, and references as appropriate.\n________________________________________\n7. Timeline for Responses\nResponses should be submitted by: 10th July \nSend responses to: FinanceServiceDesk@sussex.ac.uk\n________________________________________\n8. Confidentiality and Further Engagement\nAll information shared during this process will be treated in confidence and used solely to inform the University's procurement strategy. A formal procurement notice will be issued in due course if a competitive procedure is pursued.\n________________________________________\n9. Disclaimer\nThis notice does not constitute a commitment to any future procurement process. The University reserves the right to revise its requirements and/or proceed via direct award where lawful grounds (e.g., Regulation 41 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2023) can be robustly demonstrated.", "dueDate": "2025-07-10T23:59:59+01:00", "status": "scheduled" } ], "documents": [ { "id": "035280-2025", "documentType": "marketEngagementNotice", "noticeType": "UK2", "description": "Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender", "url": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/035280-2025", "datePublished": "2025-06-26T09:51:11+01:00", "format": "text/html" } ] }, "tender": { "id": "US_25259", "legalBasis": { "id": "2023/54", "scheme": "UKPGA", "uri": "https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents" }, "title": "Life Sciences Equipment - Cagewash, IVC and Decontamination", "description": "This opportunity is for supply and installation of life sciences decontamination equipment, IVCs, racks and related goods at The University of Sussex.\nThis opportunity is split into five lots.\nThe University of Sussex (\"the Authority\") is planning refurbishment works to its' Biomedical Research Facility.

Contracting Authority Details\nName: University of Sussex\nAddress: Sussex House, Falmer, Brighton, BN1 9RH\nContact Point: Claire Hutchinson\n________________________________________\n2. Description of Intended Procurement\nTitle: Cage and rack washer for the Biomedical Research Facility (BRF).\nEstimated Value: Approx. £423,502 (inclusive of VAT)\nProcurement Type: Supply, installation, and commissioning of laboratory equipment\nCPV Code(s): 38434540 - Biomedical Equipment Additional CPV Code 42920000 - Industrial Cleaning Machinery\n________________________________________\n3. Purpose of the Engagement\nThe University of Sussex is undertaking preliminary market engagement to better understand the availability of equipment solutions that can meet a specific set of technical and structural constraints within our Biomedical Research Facility.\nWe are particularly interested in cage and rack washers capable of operating within a 100mm maximum pit depth, due to the presence of significant structural constraints that preclude deeper pit depths and structural alterations.\nThis notice is issued to:\n•\tSeek information from suppliers about their capability to meet these requirements.\n•\tUnderstand any technical or commercial developments in the market that may affect the procurement approach.\n•\tAssess whether a competitive process remains viable or whether the technical constraints may lead to a compliant direct award.\n________________________________________\n4. Market Engagement Format\nInterested suppliers are invited to respond in writing to the questions set out in Section 6 below. Responses may be followed up with clarification calls or site visits if required.\nThis is not a call for competition. Participation in this engagement is voluntary and will not affect the supplier's ability to participate in any future procurement.\n________________________________________\n5. Background Information\nThe BRF is a live, regulated facility with significant architectural constraints. A structural engineering investigation has confirmed that modifying the pit depth (currently 100mm) would require substantial and disruptive structural interventions. We are therefore exploring whether compliant cage and rack washers exist that function fully within this constraint.\n________________________________________\n6. Information Requested from Suppliers\nPlease respond to the following:\n1.\tDo you offer a cage and rack washer capable of operating within a maximum 100mm pit depth?\n2.\tWhat are the design, manufacturing, installation, weight and maintenance requirements for your solution?\n3.\tHave you supplied similar solutions in constrained laboratory or animal research environments?\n4.\tCan your equipment design be modified to meet unique spatial constraints?\n5.\tAre you aware of any comparable installations in the UK or EU where pit depth has been a limiting factor?\nPlease include relevant brochures, technical drawings, and references as appropriate.\n________________________________________\n7. Timeline for Responses\nResponses should be submitted by: 10th July \nSend responses to: FinanceServiceDesk@sussex.ac.uk\n________________________________________\n8. Confidentiality and Further Engagement\nAll information shared during this process will be treated in confidence and used solely to inform the University's procurement strategy. A formal procurement notice will be issued in due course if a competitive procedure is pursued.\n________________________________________\n9. Disclaimer\nThis notice does not constitute a commitment to any future procurement process. The University reserves the right to revise its requirements and/or proceed via direct award where lawful grounds (e.g., Regulation 41 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2023) can be robustly demonstrated." } ], "dueDate": [ { "releaseID": "035280-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-06-26T09:51:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "2025-07-10T23:59:59+01:00" } ], "status": [ { "releaseID": "035280-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-06-26T09:51:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "scheduled" } ] } ], "documents": [ { "id": "035280-2025", "documentType": [ { "releaseID": "035280-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-06-26T09:51:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "marketEngagementNotice" } ], "noticeType": [ { "releaseID": "035280-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-06-26T09:51:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "UK2" } ], "description": [ { "releaseID": "035280-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-06-26T09:51:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender" } ], "url": [ { "releaseID": "035280-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-06-26T09:51:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/035280-2025" } ], "datePublished": [ { "releaseID": "035280-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-06-26T09:51:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "2025-06-26T09:51:11+01:00" } ], "format": [ { "releaseID": "035280-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-06-26T09:51:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "text/html" } ] } ] }, "tender": { "id": [ { "releaseID": "035280-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-06-26T09:51:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "US_25259" } ], "legalBasis": { "id": [ { "releaseID": "035280-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-06-26T09:51:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "2023/54" } ], "scheme": [ { "releaseID": "035280-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-06-26T09:51:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "UKPGA" } ], "uri": [ { "releaseID": "035280-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-06-26T09:51:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents" } ] }, "title": [ { "releaseID": "035280-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-06-26T09:51:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "Procurement of Rack Washer for Constrained Laboratory Environment - Preliminary Market Engagement" }, { "releaseID": "098133-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-10-16T15:53:48+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": "Life Sciences Equipment - Cagewash, IVC and Decontamination" } ], "description": [ { "releaseID": "035280-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-06-26T09:51:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "The University of Sussex is undertaking preliminary market engagement to better understand the availability of equipment solutions that can meet a specific set of technical and structural constraints within our Biomedical Research Facility.\nWe are particularly interested in cage and rack washers capable of operating within a 100mm maximum pit depth, due to the presence of significant structural constraints that preclude deeper pit depths and structural alterations.\nThis notice is issued to:\n•\tSeek information from suppliers about their capability to meet these requirements.\n•\tUnderstand any technical or commercial developments in the market that may affect the procurement approach.\n•\tAssess whether a competitive process remains viable or whether the technical constraints may lead to a compliant direct award." }, { "releaseID": "098133-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-10-16T15:53:48+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": "This opportunity is for supply and installation of life sciences decontamination equipment, IVCs, racks and related goods at The University of Sussex.
