Summary of the contracting process

The University of Sheffield has recently completed a tender process for the procurement of "3D Ceramic Printed Core Material," primarily focused in the ceramics industry category. This contract, valued at £62,700, has been awarded to Ink Matters Limited T/A 3D Matters. The delivery of the items is expected to take place in Yorkshire and the Humber region. The award announcement was made on 22nd June 2021, while the contract period spans from 23rd June 2021 to 22nd June 2022. The procurement method employed was a Single Source Authorisation, indicating that the contract was not open to competitive bidding.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in advanced materials and 3D printing technologies. Businesses that have experience in providing unique or proprietary materials, especially those related to ceramics and casting processes, would be well-positioned to engage with similar future contracts. The application of the material in complex geometry cores for titanium casting further implies a niche market where innovative solutions are sought, providing avenues for growth and collaboration within the supply chain.
