Summary of the contracting process

The University of Strathclyde is conducting an open procurement for the supply, delivery, and installation of a linear hammer forge, specifically designed for the controlled hot forging of both low and high strength metal alloys. The contract is currently in the award stage, with the winning bid submitted by Schuler Pressen GmbH, and the contract valued at £1,620,928 was signed on 25 April 2022. This procurement takes place at the National Manufacturing Institute of Scotland in Glasgow, where the equipment will be pivotal for various research projects in the field of metal forging.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses experienced in metalworking and manufacturing equipment, particularly those capable of supplying advanced engineering solutions. Companies that specialise in forging technologies and have proven capabilities in providing similar machinery would be ideally positioned to compete. Engaging in such tenders can enhance business growth and expand market presence, as the successful supplier will not only serve the University but also collaborate with academic and industrial partners across the UK.

Notice Title

Supply, Delivery and Installation of a Linear Hammer Forge

Notice Description

The University of Strathclyde requires a suitably qualified supplier to supply, deliver and install a linear electric hammer that is suitable for the controlled hot forging of low strength metal alloys (e.g. aluminium alloys) through to high strength metals (such as HSLA steels, nickel superalloys and titanium alloys).

Lot Information

Lot 1

The University requires the supply, delivery and installation of a linear hammer forge at the National Manufacturing Institute of Scotland (NMIS). Hammer closed die forging will provide the University with a unique ability to convert a range of new alloys either powder-derived or ingots into forged profiles and demonstrator parts. A state-of-the-art electric hammer does not currently exist in a UK research establishment. The machine will be situated in the Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC), a specialist centre within the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) and will be a unique, key strategic piece of equipment in NMIS. The equipment will be utilised in a range of research projects ranging from novel alloy forging, recycled/revert billets and to conventional forging alloys. While the press will be housed at NMIS it will be made available to both academic and industrial partners across the whole of the United Kingdom. The University seeks a supplier that can fulfill the below non-exhaustive list of technical requirements: - The offered equipment must demonstrate hammer energy capacity of at least 20 kJ with the ability to set the blow strength in a range anywhere between 5% to 100% of the energy capacity. - The supplier is required to provide drawings and 3d models of tooling, equipment assemblies and foundations. These must be provided in a standard format (for example; STEP, DWG, ASSEMBLY). -The offered equipment will have the ability to view, measure and record all process parameters; for example the forging loads and anvil/tup travel and speed. - The awarded supplier must provide, as a minimum, a twelve (12) month warranty on goods, inclusive of all parts, labour and shipping costs. The warranty must include any critical software updates or remediations free of charge. - The awarded supplier must arrange for the delivery of the offered equipment to NMIS.

Options: The Contracting Authority reserves the right to request additional deliveries by the successful Tenderer, either intended as partial replacement of supplies or installations or as extensions of existing supplies and installations. The Contracting Authority may at it's sole discretion exercise this option.
