Notice Title

5-Axis Machining Centre

Notice Description

Text to be corrected in the original notice: Place of text to be modified: IV.2.2 Time limit for receipt of tenders or requests to participate and IV.2.7 Conditions for opening of tenders Instead of: 02 March 2020 Time: 14:00 Read New: 16 March 2020 Time: 14:00 Other additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. The University of Bath requires a 5-axis machining centre for machining of complex free form components made from advanced and composite materials. Machining should be achieved to an extremely high tolerance, with regard to parallelism and perpendicularity, without the need for further finishing. The quality/accuracy/surface finish achieved when machining carbon fibre composite components must be of an extremely high standard in order to support the University's world class research into Aerospace composite structures, novel materials, and machining operations.
