UK Public Sector Contracts & Tenders

The University intends to procure a new thin film magnetron sputtering facility for the fabrication of energy materials, biocompatible and functional coatings. TF-FAB provides a platform for researchers to develop new inorganic thin films for energy materials, biocompatible and functional coatings. It supports unprecedented recent growth in thin film research at Northumbria University (NU). TF-FAB provides a transformational capacity increase in thin film fabrication and will create new collaborative opportunities between academia and industry. We are looking for a dual chamber sputtering system and interconnecting load lock. We are looking for maximum flexibility (hardware and software) and also an upgradable system. We anticipate that one chamber will be more geared towards the deposition of oxide and compound materials (chamber 1) while the other would be more metal focus, including diamond like carbon coatings and titanium based alloys (chamber 2).

Northumbria University Faculty of Health & Life Sciences is at the forefront of educating tomorrow's health professionals. A leading provider of education in nursing, allied health, social work and public health programmes the Faculty has more then 13,000 students and over 400 academic and technical staff. As part of the continued development of our state of the art clinical skills facilities we are now seeking to procure 3D anatomy tables to assist with the teaching of gross anatomy as well as microscopic anatomy, physiology and histology. The successful supplier will have a product which can match our detailed requirements as well as having a bank of clinical cases, MRI, CT and other imaging.

The University is looking to procure satellite parts, orbital modelling and thermal and mechanical modelling to create CubeSats. The University is planning on purchasing the remaining parts for the second CubeSat and, additionally for a complete third CubeSat, the University will build, assemble and integrate our laser payload into all three CubeSats ready for launch. Two of the CubeSats will get launched and the third CubeSat will be a testable on the ground.

3D Concrete Printer

The team is working on tunable and predictable small molecule light emitters from a fluorinated amine scaffolds project. Within this project, the team will build a structure-property relationship around two constrained amine scaffolds, with a particular focus on tuning their photoluminescent properties. This will involve the strategic incorporation of fluorine atoms, and the analysis of this small compound library will be supported by a Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probe which enables simultaneous 1H and 19F decoupling of 13C NMR spectra. The probe will also support the characterisation of key intramolecular distances through the acquisition of 1H NOE spectra.

The Faculty of Engineering and Environment at Northumbria University is undergoing expansion and enhancement of its engineering materials facilities. Following recent grant successes, this includes investment in both space and equipment. In particular, we are looking to improve our materials characterisation facilities. We are looking to acquire a Hall effect system to measure resistivity/conductivity, carrier mobility and carrier concentration and type in semiconductor thin films. The system must be well suited to measure transparent conductive oxides as well as solar absorbers such as Sb2(S,Se)3, Cu2ZnSn(S,Se4) and related materials typically deposited on glass substrates. The system should be compact and benchtop and capable of reliably measuring thin film samples with low mobility (10-1 cm2/V.s or below) without compromising the measurement quality or samples with high mobility. The system should include full software and a PC to measure and extract the desired film properties with a user-friendly interface. UK training and support is paramount.

We want to upgrade all the spectrophotometers across our teaching and research labs in Health and Life Sciences. This will greatly impact teaching, improving the student experience, and within research, producing better and more reliable data.

This project aims to produce coloured bacterial cellulose using a co-culture approach, including melanated cellulose with potential UV resistance. The project also involves developing biological melanin production for coating applications. To support this project the acquisition of a UV analyser is required. Scope The project encompasses engineering biology and material sciences.
