The facility will be used to test technologies involving pyrophoric materials, requiring a high level of safety, environmental control and security.

Key anticipated features include: - Fully prefabricated modular laboratory construction. - Laboratory can be manufactured quickly. - Laboratory can be quickly decommissioned, easily moved to another site and recommissioned. - Very high security design to meet controlled material handling requirements. - High level of fire safety and uses fire resistant materials. - Non-water-based fire suppression system (water incompatible with materials). - Very high integrity enclosure (safe from accidental water ingress). - Continuous temperature control. - Low-humidity environment ( ## CPV classification Prefabricated equipment Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/b57b6c1f-3018-479b-976b-69debe122491) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
