Please be aware that the award of this project will be conditional, based on whether the bid for funding is successful. (This project is funded by the Medical Research Council and the procurement is dependent on the final funding agreement.) The University of Birmingham invites tenders for supply of an ultrasound imaging system to image small preclinical disease models with high frame rates to accurately image small mobile structures with fast frequency cyclic changes. The equipment will be used for echocardiography and imaging of tissue structures and blood flow. The workstation should perform image acquisition, data storage and in-line as well as off-line data analysis to derive functional parameters. It should allow for a future upgrade of the setup, both in terms of hardware (especially transducers) and software.

The University of Birmingham invites tenders for the supply of an ammonia storage and vaporisation unit capable of supplying ammonia at: • 70kg/hr • 8.0 Barg • ≥25oC The unit is part of a BEIS funded programme to construct an ammonia cracking plant to produce green hydrogen. The Tyseley Ammonia Project will design, build, commission, and operate the world's largest and most efficient ammonia to hydrogen conversion unit, demonstrating 200kg/day production of transport-grade hydrogen. It will be located at Tyseley Energy Park and co-located alongside an existing refuelling station. The hydrogen will be used to refuel local vehicles including 20 fuel cell buses that have been ordered by Birmingham City Council. The ammonia cracker combines decomposition and purification stages into a single, compact unit, with lower operational temperatures due to recent innovations in membrane technology. The project aims to dramatically improve the efficiency and economics of ammonia cracking, accelerate the development of hydrogen solutions in the UK and position the country at the forefront of an emerging global market. The project is led by Gemserv, with partners EQUANS, H2SITE, Storengy, Yara, University of Birmingham and Tyseley Energy Park. The ammonia unit will be integrated into ammonia cracking plant, being provided by other partners with operations being the responsibility of EQUANS. This project may be funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) or; - European Structural and Investment Fund (ESIF) or; - Research Councils UK (RCUK), the strategic partnership of the UK's seven Research Councils.

The University of Birmingham has decided to review its present arrangements for the provision of Health Clearance and Occupational Health Services for clinical programme students. Providers are invited to tender for both services, but consideration will be given to individual service applications. The University reserves the right not to award both services to a single provider. The Colleges of Medical and Dental Sciences and Life and Environmental Sciences at the University of Birmingham incorporate the subject areas of medicine, pharmacy, physicians' associate, biomedical sciences, dentistry, nursing and physiotherapy. The Colleges will require clearance for students on 6 clinical programmes and for a small number of students on some non-clinical Undergraduate (UG) and Postgraduate (PG) programmes. Each year approx. 1,250 students joining programmes run by the Colleges will require health clearance. They are mostly undergraduate clinical students for whom health clearance is a condition of acceptance to their programme of study. The Dentistry programme requires students to have experience of exposure prone procedures (EPPs) and medical students may also elect to do this. The remaining programmes do not require EPP; the College therefore requires a higher level of clearance for dental students than for other clinical students. As the Medicine programme permits students to engage with EPPs, it is likely that a number of students may require clearance for this - the participation rate will require monitoring. The annual intake of students to each clinical programme is about 1,250 (including a small number of BSc Biomedical Science and post graduate students e.g. Midwifery - not listed below) o Nursing - 204 o Dentistry (BDS) - 80 (EPP) o Pharmacy - 150 o Medicine - 400 (including GEC) o PG Dip Physician Associate. - 50 o Physiotherapy - 260 The provider will be expected to sign up to the University Standard Data Protection contract clauses and to meet the university specific data protection requirements which will include: o Data Security, to standards no less than those applicable within the NHS o Data Retention, to the standard of the University of Birmingham Student Privacy notice o Transfer of data as appropriate to another Occupational Health provider (either at termination of the contract or to the provider of another aspect of Occupational Health - e.g. the complete service.) Data processing would be on the legal basis for processing special category data - GDPR Article 9 (i) processing is necessary for reasons of public interest in the area of public health, such as protecting against serious cross-border threats to health or ensuring high standards of quality and safety of health care and of medicinal products or medical devices, on the basis of Union or Member State law which provides for suitable and specific measures to safeguard the ...
