Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the University of Sheffield, which is seeking a supplier for the "Core Loss Measurement Facility for Soft Magnetic Materials." This opportunity falls under the "Measuring instruments" category and is located in Yorkshire and the Humber, UK. The tender is currently at the Award stage, having concluded the tender submission period on 5th July 2019, with a contract start date of 22nd July 2019 and completion due by 23rd July 2019. The procurement was undertaken through an open procedure and is valued at £58,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in measurement instruments, particularly those able to provide facilities for the characterisation of soft magnetic materials used in electrical engineering. Suppliers, especially SMEs, with expertise in manufacturing or measurement related to laminated electrical steels would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The focus on research applications means that vendors with innovative measuring solutions tailored for academic and engineering contexts may find this an advantageous pursuit.

Notice Title

2259/JN - Core Loss Measurement Facility for Soft Magnetic Materials

Notice Description

The Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering has secured funding from the UK Enginerring and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) to establish the EPSRC Manufacturing Hub for Future Electrical Machines in partnership with the universities of Newcastle and Strathclyde. This funding includes provision to establish some key facilities in support of the research programme of the Hub. The specific facility being sought in this tender will provide a means of measuring hysteresis characteristics and AC core loss of soft magnetic material samples. It will be used almost entirely for the characterisation of laminated electrical steels (SiFe, CoFe and NiFe) for use in electrical machines and not high frequency cores for power supplies etc. Hence, medium frequency measurements of core loss (up to 1kHz) will cover the overwhelming majority of potential usage. It will be used almost exclusively for research purposes and not for offering commercial measuring services. A key use will be for evaluating the effect of electrical machine manufacturing methods on core loss. This is an Non-OJEU open exercise. The ITT can be downloaded by registering and expressing your interest on the University's e-tendering system https://in-tendhost.co.uk/Sheffield If you have any questions or comments in relation to this tender they must be submitted via the In-tend System, this can be accessed at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/Sheffield Completed tenders must be returned through the same e-tendering system. Closing date for receipt of tenders: Friday 5th July 2019 at 12 noon (UK time).
