Cartrefi Conwy is looking for a partner to provide an Intellectual property and technical study, analysing the effectiveness of using a natural fibre for insulation. The technical study will include testing and reporting of the use of this fibre in test homes, under the ownership of Cartrefi Conwy.
Key requirements of the Intellectual property and technical study will include, but will not be limited to the following:
Prior experience of delivering research and development, the creation of intellectual property and technical desk-based studies.
Experience of research and development of wool based products, ideally published in the leading peer-reviewed journals in this field (for example this might include papers published in Journal of Materials Science and the Journal of Textile Institute).
Equipment and testing capability. Have access (not sub contracted) to testing equipment that can cover the thermal performance of products, strength, moisture levels, VOC emissions and the performance under heat and humidity.
An understanding of the build environment, both in terms of today’s new build, retrofitting existing buildings and the standards that are applied to these construction systems.
Availability. The project is grant funded and therefore time limited. The studies will need to be carried out at some point between Sep-21 and Jan-22. However, there is potential for a 3 to 6-month extension. Any quote will require the ability to start and complete the study within this time period.
Quotations will need to meet the above requirements and then will be chosen based on price and technical competence. The weighting of each criteria (price/competence) will be 50%.
In order to quote for this project, please provide the price to perform both the Intellectual property and technical studies and provide a short outline how your organisation can meet the five items highlighted in the specification (no more than one page).
