    Brief

    This tender seeks a temporary cleanroom facility at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh (ROE) in Scotland to support assembly and integration activities for the METIS LMS (Large Mirror Segment) instrument. The facility must meet specific environmental standards including controlled temperature, humidity, and contamination levels, along with sufficient spatial layout, utility services (power, compressed air, water), and ancillary support requirements. The cleanroom will serve as an alternative facility to enable critical assembly work for this optical instrument. Suppliers should review all tender documentation thoroughly to understand technical specifications, delivery timelines, process requirements, and contractual terms and conditions. The anticipated budget is £200K to £300K GBP excluding VAT. This is an opportunity for facilities providers or cleanroom specialists to support advanced scientific instrumentation development.
