## Summary

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is currently engaged in an open procurement process for the supply of a 500+ kN test machine, necessary due to the malfunction of their existing unit. Located in Buxton, Derbyshire, this procurement falls under the services category, specifically related to laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. The deadline for submitting offers is set for 2nd October 2017, with the contract expected to commence on 30th October 2017 and conclude by 30th November 2017. Interested vendors must register on the HSE's eTendering portal and adhere to the extended deadline for submitting questions, now due by noon on 11th September 2017.

This project not only allows for competition in the supply of a critical laboratory apparatus but also enables firms to showcase innovative solutions that meet specific technical requirements, thereby fostering business growth within the industry.

## Notice

HSE SD currently has a number of servo-hydraulic test machines, ranging in capacity from 10 kN to 1500 kN. Our 500 kN test machine has failed and we have taken the opportunity to evaluate our needs. We have decided to replace the existing machine with a machine with a similar capacity, but with a significantly longer stroke, to give us more flexibility. This is likely to result in changing from a servo-hydraulic machine, to an electromechanical machine, although any type of machine that meets the requirements would be considered. Additional information: In order to tender for this opportunity you should register your business on HSE's eTendering portal https://in-tendhost.co.uk/hse/aspx/Home The deadline for Q&A's has been extended to noon on 11/09/2017.
