This process is currently in the award stage, with the contract for the shaker system awarded on 4 March 2019 and a total intended value of £100,000, whereas the thermal cycling chamber's award is linked and potentially compatible. Both tenders are classified under electronic equipment and are open procedures below threshold, with contract periods starting from 25 January 2019 and lasting until 23 January 2022. This tender opportunity is relevant across various locations, including the United Kingdom and other territories. This procurement represents a significant growth opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in electronic and laboratory equipment, particularly those with capabilities in vibration and environmental testing. Suppliers able to form consortia or subcontract can also enhance their bids by offering complementary services. The potential for added value in compliance and pre-qualification testing positions this tender as an attractive venture for businesses looking to expand their presence in the research and development sectors, particularly within the electronics and engineering industries. ## Notice The Catapult is procuring a shaker table (see ICT-2018-021) for environmental testing to evaluate product resilience and to demonstrate market readiness. This equipment is required to provide capability for sinusoidal and random vibration as well as high-acceleration shock tests for small to medium sized payloads. The addition of a thermal chamber via this opportunity allows for multi-mode environmental stress tests with the flexibility for using either system simultaneously and independently. The equipment will be used for R&D during the Catapult's collaborative and internal projects whilst also providing potential commercial opportunities in compliance and pre-qualification testing against a range of standards for harsh environments. The Catapult may also purchase additional related services. This notice should be read in conjunction with notice ICT-2018-021. Items ICT-2018-021 and ICT-2018-022 are potentially being purchased together and must be compatible. Suppliers are invited to tender for ITC-2018-021, and ITC-2018-022 as optional. Suppliers may enter into consortia, sub-contract or deliver both requirements themselves. Additional information: To express interest in this opportunity and receive the tender documents, please email procurement@csa.catapult.org.uk with ITC-2018-022 in the subject field. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f87500b1-bbfb-4e0e-833d-93af34374dc1 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Apr 2019 | | Submission deadline | 10 Jan 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 4 Mar 2019 | | Contract period | 5 Mar 2019 - 4 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £80,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £93,980 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | COMPOUND SEMICONDUCTOR APPLICATIONS CATAPULT LIMITED | | Locality | CARDIFF | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF10 4RU | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL52 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | | Local authority | Cardiff | | Electoral ward | Butetown | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff South and Penarth | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ALPHATECH | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 31710000 - Electronic equipment - 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ## Release History - 1 Apr 2019 at 10:58 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f87500b1-bbfb-4e0e-833d-93af34374dc1 - 1 Apr 2019 at 10:51 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3516d599-9519-419c-8d5d-009d90709b46 - 20 Dec 2018 at 16:03 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2714ac07-0e64-4426-958d-15dd7c16b974 - 20 Dec 2018 at 15:55 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/49fd7420-37e2-4c25-8bd1-7f6d2b6af599 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f87500b1-bbfb-4e0e-833d-93af34374dc1 1st April 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3516d599-9519-419c-8d5d-009d90709b46 1st April 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2714ac07-0e64-4426-958d-15dd7c16b974 20th December 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/49fd7420-37e2-4c25-8bd1-7f6d2b6af599 20th December 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://csa.catapult.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
