Summary of the contracting process

The University of Manchester is seeking to acquire a multi-material, multi-colour 3D printer as part of its initiative to establish the Sir Henry Royce Institute for advanced materials research and innovation located in Manchester, United Kingdom. This procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with the tender period closing on 17th June 2019. The chosen supplier will be required to deliver the equipment, essential for creating anatomically realistic models for various medical applications, by the contract start date of 15th July 2019, with the contract scheduled to be completed by 30th September 2019. The procurement method is an open procedure above the threshold value.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in 3D printing technology, particularly those focused on advanced materials and medical applications. Suppliers capable of producing cutting-edge printers that utilise poly-jet deposition and offer texture mapping and colour gradient functionalities would be particularly well-positioned to compete. This contract could enhance the capabilities of firms engaged in innovative medical devices, educational tools, and engineering solutions, thus facilitating growth within the sector.
