Notice Title
Aerospace Composite Tooling Suite
Notice Description
The National Composites Centre (NCC) is ran a multi-Lot tender for the procurement of a suite of composite tools for an aerospace project. The two Lots that were available: * ITT_1261: Forming Tool (Tender) * ITT_1263: RTM Tool (Tender) Please note: ITT_1261 (Forming Tool) was Not Awarded, due to budget restrictions and revisions in requirements not yet fully defined.
Lot Information
Lot 1
This RFI will be launched on the University of Bristol Tendering Portal, which can be found at the link below. In order to access the RFI, your organisation will need to create an account in the Portal (if not already in existence). Once access to the RFI has been obtained, all communications must only take place via the Message facility of the portal. Similarly, any responses to the Market Engagement questions must only be submitted by uploading your response to the relevant area of the portal; the deadline for submitting RFI responses will be visible in the details on the portal. Due to sensitivity of Customer data, an NDA must be in place before the Forming RFI Specification can be shared (it will not be available through the portal). To request the NDA template, please email leigh.jones@nccuk.com or get in contact via the Message facility of the portal. Once the NDA has been signed by both parties, the Specification will be sent to you via the portal. This RFI serves to alert the marketplace to this future opportunity. Participating in this market engagement exercise will not guarantee short-listing at a later stage in a future tender activity, nor will non-participation in this exercise restrict access to the opportunity. As a result of feedback or for any other reason, the NCC may make the decision not to go ahead with any proposed procurement exercise. The NCC will not meet any costs incurred by any party in responding to this RFI. The NCC reserves the right to award all, none, or part of the business. Additional information: University of Bristol Tendering Portal https://tenders.bris.ac.uk/web/login.html
Aerospace Composite Forming ToolThe NCC require the design, manufacture and supply of a tool for a forming manufacturing process using dry fibre non-crimp fabric (NCF) of a complex aerospace component. The component is approximately 6000mm x 750mm and up to 20mm thick. It is expected that process development will be carried out on the same tooling for a smaller component. Additional information: This Lot was not awarded, due to budget restrictions and revised technical requirements for the Forming Tool not yet full defined.
Aerospace Composite RTM ToolThe NCC require the design, manufacture and supply of a tool for a Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) manufacturing process of two complex Thermoset composite aerospace components. The first component is approximately 6000mm x 750mm and up to 20mm thick, and the second at 1500mm x 650mm and up to 20mm thick. The smaller component is a shorter version of the main component and will be used to develop and prove out the full-scale manufacturing process and tooling concept.
