Supply of Animal Housing Equipment

Education Procurement Service (EPS)

The Contracting Authority is seeking to procure rodent housing equipment for its breeding area to increase the holding capacity per square metre. The housing equipment will be based on a rack and cage system to create a number of individually ventilated cages. This will require suitable mobile air handling units (AHUโ€™s) which will condition the incoming air and exhaust to the main building AHU system. Changing stations will also be required to permit safe manipulation of the cages without the rodents being exposed to the room environment.
