The procurement, classified under industrial machinery, includes two lots focusing on advanced hydraulics and pneumatics, and the tender period concludes on 28th August 2018. The resulting contract is expected to commence on 30th September 2018 and continue for two years, ending on 30th September 2020. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacturing and engineering sector, particularly those that specialise in the design and provision of training equipment for hydraulic and pneumatic systems. SMEs are especially encouraged to participate, as the SAM Project aims to engage over 400 manufacturers in the region, fostering growth and innovation. Companies capable of delivering comprehensive training packages, alongside advanced technical resources, would be well-suited to compete for this contract, potentially leading to further collaborations within a developing market. ## Notice Preamble Sustainable Advanced Manufacturing Project (SAM Project) is a ?5.1M funded project (ERDF and University of Sunderland). The project is to support product / process development and implementation of technology for SME manufacturers within the NE LEP area. The support covers several work streams: 1 Practical engagement - utilisation of a Design or Process & Supply Chain or Maintenance Specialist for a minimum of 2 days in support of an issue for quick support resolution (Fully Funded) 2 Research Support - development of a product or process using research support from the academic skills within the University giving the SME the IP developed (Fully Funded) 3 Grant - ?800K available in matched funded support for capital / validation processes or introduction of technology 4 Capital technology centre - ?1M of capital available to support SME use for R&D work based within The Industry Centre, University of Sunderland (Fully Funded) 5 Supply Chain Potential - New products to market will be developed and issued for the regional SME's to become new suppliers to a developing market for growth (Fully Funded) This project envisages engagement with over 400 SME Manufacturers across the North East and is an integral part of the Regional Strategy for growth.
