    The University of Oulu needs a compact laboratory-scale hydrogen membrane separation and characterization system for research activities related to hydrogen purification, gas separation processes, and membrane performance evaluation. The system, which should be delivered as a complete turnkey solution including hardware, software, documentation, commissioning, and training, must be suitable for installation and operation inside a laboratory fume hood with active ventilation of 0.3 m/s. It should support flexible research by enabling precise control of gas composition, flow, and pressure, provide reliable and reproducible experimental data, and facilitate membrane separation experiments, integrity verification, and safe operation with hydrogen-containing gas mixtures. The system must also have automated monitoring, process control, and data acquisition capabilities, and be designed for future integration of external equipment like humidification and vacuum systems. The maximum total value for the system, including all mandatory features, cannot exceed 100,000 Euros (0% VAT). The project is co-funded by the EU Just Transition Fund (JTF) and the Council of Oulu region, and the procurement is conditional upon the receipt of external funding. The contract duration is 6 months.

    About the bid

      The University of Oulu is seeking a compact laboratory-scale hydrogen membrane separation and characterization system for research activities related to hydrogen purification, gas separation processes and membrane performance evaluation. The system will be used for experimental investigation of membrane technologies under controlled operating conditions using both single-gas and mixed-gas streams. The equipment shall be suitable for installation and operation inside a laboratory fume hood and shall have a compact footprint compatible with the available installation space. The fume hood has an active ventilation of 0.3 m/s. The system shall support flexible research activities by enabling precise control of gas composition, flow and pressure, while providing reliable and reproducible experimental data. The system shall facilitate membrane separation experiments, membrane integrity verification and safe operation with hydrogen-containing gas mixtures. Automated monitoring, process control and data acquisition capabilities shall be provided to support efficient experimental execution and research data analysis. The equipment shall be delivered as a complete turnkey solution including all necessary hardware, software, technical documentation, commissioning and operator training. The software environment shall provide an intuitive graphical user interface for experiment configuration, real-time process monitoring, automated data logging and export of experimental results. The proposed solution shall be designed to facilitate future integration of externally connected equipment, including but not limited to humidification systems and vacuum systems, without requiring major modifications to the core system architecture. Preference is given to modular and configurable systems that provide a high degree of automation, operational flexibility and reproducibility of experimental results. The project is co-funded by the EU Just Transition Fund (JTF). Pohjois-Pohjanmaan liitto (Council of Oulu region) is the project's main funder. The procurement is conditional upon the receipt of external funding. If the funding is not obtained or is withdrawn, the Contracting Authority reserves the right to suspend or cancel the procurement procedure without awarding a contract. Please note that the total amount of system can not exceed 100 000 euros (0% VAT) including all mandatory features. Contracting authority can not accept tenders that exceed this amount. Optional features does not include to this total price. Previous call for tenders has been suspended. This call for tender replaces it.

Mahdollisissa tulkintaeroissa englanninkielinen alkuperäisteksti on ensisijainen. Oulun yliopisto hakee kompaktia laboratoriomittakaavan vedyn membraanierotus- ja karakterisointijärjestelmää vedyn puhdistukseen, kaasujen erotusprosesseihin ja membraanien suorituskyvyn arviointiin liittyvää tutkimustoimintaa varten. Järjestelmää käytetään membraaniteknologioiden kokeelliseen tutkimukseen hallituissa käyttöolosuhteissa käyttäen sekä yhden kaasun virtoja että kaasuseoksia. Laitteiston tulee soveltua asennettavaksi ja käytettäväksi laboratoriovetokaapin sisällä, ja sen tilantarpeen tulee olla kompakti sekä yhteensopiva käytettävissä olevan asennustilan kanssa. Vetokaapissa on aktiivinen ilmanvaihto, jonka nopeus on 0,3 m/s. Järjestelmän tulee tukea joustavaa tutkimustoimintaa mahdollistamalla kaasukoostumuksen, virtauksen ja paineen tarkka säätö sekä tuottamalla luotettavaa ja toistettavaa kokeellista dataa. Laitteiston tulee mahdollistaa membraanierotuskokeet, membraanien suorituskyvyn todentaminen sekä turvallinen käyttö vetyä sisältävien kaasuseosten kanssa. Järjestelmässä tulee olla automatisoidut valvonta-, prosessinohjaus- ja datankeruuominaisuudet tehokkaan kokeellisen työskentelyn ja tutkimusdatan analysoinnin tukemiseksi. Järjestelmä tulee toimittaa täydellisenä avaimet käteen -ratkaisuna sisältäen kaikki tarvittavat laitteistot, ohjelmistot, teknisen dokumentaation, käyttöönoton sekä käyttäjäkoulutuksen. Ohjelmistoympäristön tulee tarjota intuitiivinen graafinen käyttöliittymä kokeiden suunnitteluun, prosessin reaaliaikaiseen seurantaan, automaattiseen datan tallennukseen sekä koetulosten vientiin. Tarjotun ratkaisun tulee olla suunniteltu siten, että siihen voidaan tulevaisuudessa integroida ulkoisesti liitettäviä laitteita, mukaan lukien, mutta niihin rajoittumatta, kostutusjärjestelmät ja vakuumijärjestelmät, ilman että järjestelmän ydinarkkitehtuuriin tarvitsee tehdä merkittäviä muutoksia. Etusija annetaan modulaarisille ja muunneltaville järjestelmille, jotka tarjoavat korkean automaatioasteen, operatiivisen joustavuuden ja koetulosten hyvän toistettavuuden. Hanke on saanut osarahoitusta Euroopan unionin oikeudenmukaisen siirtymän rahastosta (Just Transition Fund, JTF). Pohjois-Pohjanmaan liitto on hankkeen päärahoittaja. Hankinnan toteutuminen edellyttää ulkopuolisen rahoituksen saamista. Mikäli rahoitusta ei saada tai se peruutetaan, hankintayksikkö pidättää oikeuden keskeyttää tai peruuttaa hankintamenettelyn tekemättä hankintasopimusta. Huomioittehan, että järjestelmän kokonaishinta kaikkine pakollisine ominaisuuksineen saa olla enintään 100 000 euroa (alv 0%). Hankintayksikkö ei voi hyväksyä tarjouksia, joiden hinta ylittää tämän summan. Optioita ei sisällytetä tähän kokonaishintaan. Aiempi tarjouskilpailu on keskeytetty. Tämä tarjouspyyntö korvaa aiemman tarjouspyynnön.Main features of the procedureThe procurement will be conducted as an open procedure. All interested economic operators may submit a tender in response to the contract notice and the procurement documents.
