Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Compound Semiconductor Applications Catapult Limited in Newport, Wales, announced an award for the procurement of a Universal Tensile Tester under the open procedure, aimed at enhancing the capabilities of its innovation centre. This procurement falls within the category of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, with an award value of £129,000. The contract period commenced on 1st November 2021 and is set to conclude on 30th October 2025. The initial tender period for this project ended on 19th August 2021.

This opportunity presents a significant avenue for growth for businesses specialising in precision testing equipment and related technologies. Companies capable of providing a comprehensive solution that includes installation, calibration, and ongoing maintenance would be particularly well-suited to participate. With the emphasis on advanced testing for materials used in vehicle electrification, suppliers with expertise in testing systems for ceramics and metals, particularly those compliant with ISO and ASTM standards, stand to benefit from this procurement process.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Universal Tensile Tester

Notice Description

Scope The Compound Semiconductor Applications Catapult is looking to create a modular, flexible, accelerated prototype package assembly and test facility to support developments around vehicle electrification incorporating compound semiconductor devices, modules and systems. This would allow experimentation, feasibility, proof of concept and small prototype volume build. As part of the package assembly research and development methodology, we require a tensiometer for tensile, shear, bending, compression, flexure, rupture and creep analysis. We are further interested in properties at temperature between -40 and 300 degC. The machine would provide build evaluation and validation for metal, ceramic and multi material 3D printing, where we look to achieve material properties similar to traditionally prepared ceramics and metals. The tool shall be capable of taking test tensile and flexural specimen for ceramics, and tensile, flexural, shear and compression samples for polymers and metals. We would also anticipate a need for testing irregularly shaped parts e.g. lattice, cantilevered fins or hollow components. Tests should be performed to the relevant ISO / ASTM standard. The system will be installed at the CSA Catapult Innovation Centre, within the Advanced Packaging Prototyping and DER Laboratory which will be equipped with access to all power, gas and services for full installation and operation. System Outline The system architecture is expected to be a standalone testing platform, accompanied by a computer, any gas management system required for functionality. The system shall incorporate all software elements required to control, capture and analyse data generated by the system. The expectation is that the technology will be used for testing metal and ceramics( typically including, silicon nitride, copper, aluminium) and combination of materials such as copper and ceramics. Any proposed machine should be able to meet relevant test standards e.g. ISO or ASTM, some of which have been indicated adjacent to the requirements. Delivery after successful tender is expected in late 2021 for all elements. A total system solution is required, which covers the workstation, interchangeable accessories, power supplies, user software, a 'quick start' kit, installation (where CSAC provide necessary power and gas connections within 2 m of the machines) and training. We require installation, commissioning, calibration, training and continuous support including maintenance for the selected system.
