Notice Title

Design, Manufacture, Supply, Installation and Commissioning of an Industrial Gas Furnace

Notice Description

It is the University of Strathclyde's aim to award a single supplier a contract for the Design, Manufacture, Supply, Installation and Commissioning of an Industrial Gas Furnace.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The University requires a Supplier to design, manufacture, install and Commission a gas furnace that will be integrated with a multi-functional open, closed and isothermal forging press and manipulator. All equipment will be highly integrated and will require Industry 4 levels of control, accuracy and repeatability in order to provide a highly instrumented system which can record and control all process inputs and outputs necessary to understand and record forging conditions within each mode of operation. The system will be installed at University of Strathclyde Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC), Inchinnan Glasgow. The press/manipulator/furnace will be housed in a purpose built extension which will be built as part of this project. This document outlines the specification for the gas furnace. The facility will support the development of a wide range of improved, high integrity metal alloys for high temperature and other demanding applications. It will address the requirement for a representative, pilot scale facility to establish the processing parameters required for the production of advanced alloy forgings and to characterise the final materials and products. It will also offer a capability to provide next generation constitutive and microstructural formulations to validate mathematical modelling to put the science into the 'black art' of forging. The gas furnace shall be based upon a temperature range from 750degC up to 1150degC with a maximal internal temperature of 1200degC. The proposed furnace will be loaded by a manipulator. The maximum size parts will be 600mm diameter, 3000mm length and 1000kg. The furnace shall offer comply with aeronautic, automotive and industrial standard as AMS 2750. Please refer to Appendix M Guidance Notes for the ESPD in the General Attachments area of PCS-T for full details on the minimum technical and financial criteria for participating in this contract. Tenderers should note the criteria for Part 4C.1.2 Services in the ESPD, contained in the Qualification envelope of PCS-T, also detailed below. Bidders will be required to provide examples that demonstrate that they have the relevant experience to deliver the services/supplies as described in part II.2.4 of the OJEU Contract Notice.

Options: The University reserves the right to request additional deliveries by the Successful Tenderer either intended as partial replacement of supplies or installations or as the extension of existing supplies or installations. The University may at is sole discretion exercise this option.
