    Brief

    The School of Physics & Astronomy at Space Park Leicester seeks to procure a complete Thermal Vacuum (TVAC) System for environmental testing and qualification of space components and equipment. The system must deliver high-vacuum capability (≤1×10⁻⁵ hPa), wide-range temperature cycling (-190°C to +150°C), and precise thermal control (±0.1°C/min stability) using liquid nitrogen, shrouds, and heating platens. Required features include contaminant control via dry pumps, structural integrity to withstand atmospheric pressure, and power/data feedthroughs for equipment under test. The chamber will be installed in an ISO 14644 Class 6 cleanroom facility and will support the university's space projects, instrumentation development, and commercial testing agreements. Suppliers must provide complete supply, installation, and commissioning services to ensure operational readiness in the cleanroom environment.
