Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Derby is seeking tenders for the provision of thermal analysis and testing equipment as part of a development for a new building focused on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The project is located at the Markeaton Street site in Derby, with the tender period concluding on 5th April 2017. The equipment required includes Dynamic Mechanical Analysis, Differential Scanning Calorimetry, and Thermomechanical Analysis systems, which aim to enhance the university's facilities for student learning and research in composite materials. This procurement follows an open procedure and the contract is set to commence on 10th April 2017, concluding on 31st July 2017.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of laboratory and testing equipment, particularly those specialising in thermal analysis technologies. Enterprises that manufacture or distribute sophisticated analytical instruments and associated services would be well-placed to compete for this contract. As the University of Derby aims to expand its capabilities in composite materials, businesses with expertise in advanced materials characterisation and installation services are particularly suited to respond to this invitation to tender.

Notice Information

Notice Title

STEM - Thermal Analysis and Testing Equipment

Notice Description

A 4,200 square metre building for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) is being built at the University's Markeaton Street site. The centre, which is expected to be completed by 2017, will focus on real-world learning, combining functional teaching space with infrastructure designed for the specific needs of engineering and computing. The College of Engineering and Technology, University of Derby is expanding in to the field of composite materials. A laboratory is being setup to look at the advanced material characterisation of these materials. It will offer an extensive range of analysis equipment for the characterisation of composites and their constituent materials. The purpose of this tender is to expand on the current facilities, therefore enhancing the student experience with up to date equipment. This is a tender to provide three items of thermal analysis and testing equipment: Item 1 - Dynamic Mechanical Analysis. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) is an important technique used to measure the mechanical and viscoelastic properties of materials such as thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers, ceramics and metals. In DMA, the sample is subjected to a periodic stress in one of several different modes of deformation. The force and displacement amplitudes and phase shift are analysed as a function of temperature, time and frequency Item 2 - Differential Scanning Calorimetry. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is the most frequently used thermal analysis technique. DSC measures enthalpy changes in samples due to changes in their physical and chemical properties as a function of temperature or time. Item 3 - Thermomechanical Analysis. Thermomechanical analysis (TMA) is used to measure dimensional changes of a material as a function of temperature. TMA easily and rapidly measures sample displacement (growth, shrinkage, movement, etc.) as a function of temperature, time and applied force. TMA is used to characterize linear expansion, glass transitions, and softening points of materials by applying a constant force to a specimen while varying temperature. Additional information: Delivery Notes Equipment is to be delivered, installed and commissioned at the University of Derby site, Markeaton Street, Derby. Incoterms CIP. Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
