Summary of the contracting process

The University of Strathclyde is conducting a public procurement process for the title "High temperature material for the manufacture of an isothermal die stack." This initiative falls under the goods category within the heating materials industry and is located at the National Manufacturing Institute of Scotland in Glasgow (UKM82). The procurement is currently at the award stage, with the contract value set at approximately £562,267.26, having been signed on 16 February 2022. The initial tender period commenced on 18 November 2021, with bids submitted electronically.

This opportunity is particularly suited for businesses specialising in metallurgy or high-temperature materials, especially those with experience in providing Titanium-Zirconium-Molybdenum (TZM) alloys. Suppliers should possess proven qualifications and a strong track record in delivering similar high-performance materials, ideally supported by a minimum yearly turnover of £1,000,000. The procurement method used is open, encouraging a wide range of suppliers to compete, thereby enhancing their growth potential in a niche market.
