Summary of the contracting process

The Cardiff University is procuring a 3-axis & 5-axis CNC Mill for its Astronomy Instrumentation Group (AIG) in the School of Physics and Astronomy. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract awarded for the 3-axis CNC Mill signed on 21st August 2023 and for the 5-axis CNC Mill also on the same date. The procurement process falls under the "goods" category and follows an open procedure. The location for delivery and manufacturing will be at the School of Physics and Astronomy in Cardiff. The main contact person is Huw Price from Cardiff University's Procurement Services.

This tender presents business growth opportunities for companies specialising in CNC machining. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as large-scale manufacturing firms can find potential in supplying components like horn blocks and detector housings. Businesses with expertise in machining different materials to tight tolerances and high-quality finishes will be well-suited to compete in this procurement process. Cardiff University's procurement efforts aim to support the SO:UK programme, focusing on developing detector technology and associated components for telescopes.

Notice Information

Notice Title

3-axis & 5-axis CNC Mill

Notice Description

The Astronomy Instrumentation Group (AIG) in the School of Physics and Astronomy at Cardiff University has been funded to provide two Small Aperture Telescope (SAT) receivers and one Large Aperture Telescope receiver (LATR) to the SO:UK programme, including the development of detector technology and associated horn blocks and housings. Two CNC mills are to be purchased for the in-house R&D and manufacture of components for the SAT and LATR receivers: - 3-axis CNC for the manufacture of other SO:UK associated parts, and to relieve the workload through the AIG's existing machines. - 5-axis CNC mill for the manufacture of the complex horn blocks and detector housings. Parts made using these new CNC mills will typically be from aluminium, copper, plastics, and steels; and will be of varying sizes and complexity. They will need to be machined to tight mechanical tolerances and will need to be of high-quality surface finishes.
