## Description

There are only two suppliers for the manufacture of lab-scale prototype \(PI-KEM and TMAX\)\. I have obtained a quote from both companies \(inc\. shipping\) for the necessary equipment which have been included in section 8\. PI-KEM is a UK distributor \(USA manufactured\) whereas TMAX is a direct manufacturer based in China\. Due to both the ease of procurement through a national agent plus the greater assurance of both delivery time and product quality through a trusted supplier, we would request dispensation for PI-KEM to ensure that project deliverables are achieved within the required timeframe\.
